U.S. Social Studies Workbook Set for Grades 5–8 — Digital PDF Set

Government, Geography & Map Skills, and U.S. History. Get instant access to all four workbooks in printable PDF format, plus the bonus 36-Week U.S. Social Studies Study Plan.

This set gives a middle-school student a structured year of U.S.-focused social studies: how the country is laid out, how it governs itself, and how it came to be. Every chapter follows the same rhythm — a short reading with a Key Question, vocabulary and comprehension practice, map, chart, and primary-source work, a Write page, and a ten-question Chapter Quiz — and every book has a complete answer key in the back.

Digital PDF download only. No physical books will be shipped.

Bonus 36-Week Study Plan

The Study Plan turns the four books into a school year. It sequences the books (Geography → Civics → History Vol. 1 → History Vol. 2), assigns one chapter most weeks (two in three marked weeks) with the actual page numbers and a discussion question, includes parent notes on guiding the work, fitting it to grades 5–6 or 7–8, and handling hard topics, provides check boxes and a score line for every quiz, explains how to use the chapter quizzes and final reviews for grades, and ends with a year-end record page and certificate. Printer-friendly.
