Social Studies Informational Text Sets
for Missouri Readers
Built on the Common Core State Standards
Engage Students in Books They Can Read
The shift to informational text sets is more than a trend; it is
here to stay and for good reason. Text sets spark interest,
questions, and engagement that increase each student’s
literacy development and content understanding. Students
at every reading level acquire the confidence, independence,
and skills needed to be proficient learners.
