Historical thinking doesn’t stop at the page. Grounded in the Science of Reading, literacy is about far more than just decoding text—it’s about building background knowledge, making connections, and extracting deep meaning. In this session, explore strategies that extend inquiry beyond primary and secondary text sources by reading images, artifacts, and data, while using discussion structures that push students to reason, question, and build understanding together. Designed for K–12 social studies, these approaches widen the toolkit for inquiry-based instruction and are ready to use on Monday.
