When engaged in social studies, with guidance and encouragement from adults, children develop awareness of self and family and become active participants in the larger community.

In this collection of articles from Young Children and Beyond the Journal, experts discuss the historic roots of the social studies field, explain how quality books can help children understand themselves and others, and provide many examples of teachers and children engaged in meaningful social studies. The knowledge and skills learned through social studies prepare children to become informed and engaged citizens of their country and the world. The book includes a list of key resources as well as questions and activities designed to aid readers in reflecting on the articles.

This volume is part of NAEYC's best-selling Spotlight series--great resources for the college classroom and for staff development.
