ELA/History Resources
This collection brings together no-prep resources that sit at the intersection of ELA and history — designed for 6th grade, 7th grade, and 8th grade classrooms where reading, writing, and historical thinking belong in the same lesson. Every resource is aligned to both Common Core ELA Reading Informational Text standards and history content so students are building genuine literacy skills while engaging with the real stories, documents, and events that shaped the world they live in.
Whether you need a primary or secondary source reading passage with ELA-aligned comprehension questions, a historical topic that gives students something worth arguing about in a writing assignment, or a cross-curricular resource that satisfies both your ELA and social studies objectives in a single lesson, you'll find materials here built for the teacher who knows that history is one of the most powerful contexts for teaching students to read and think critically.
These resources work for ELA classrooms, history and social studies classrooms, and cross-curricular units. Answer keys are included with every product, and everything is ready to use without additional prep — whether you're the ELA teacher who loves history or the history teacher who needs more reading and writing in the room.
Perfect for ELA and history teachers and homeschool educators who want rigorous, standards-aligned resources that prove reading and history were always meant to be taught together.
