Important Session Information:


"""According to Tyner and Kabourek's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study analysis in 2020, a 15% effect size is associated with more instructional time for social studies. This indicates a statistically significant result (different from zero). The authors found that Instructional time in social studies is associated with improved reading ability. They further note that the students who benefit the most from additional social studies time are girls and those from lower-income and/or non-English-speaking homes.
