Ask and Answer Questions About Women’s Rights

Whether it is Women’s History month or any other month of the year, it is never a bad time to work on your students’ reading comprehension skills. We know how tough it is to fit your Social Studies curriculum into the school day, so we have put together some differentiated pieces to help you blend Reading and Social Studies into the same segment!
