How could I match the Knowledge and Skills lessons with the science and social studies TEKS addressed in the unit?

Exploring the Cross-Curricular Connecter Overview

Research shows that building background knowledge plays an important role in both developing students’ reading comprehension and allowing them to access complex texts and concepts. The Amplify Texas Elementary Literacy program immerses students in diverse literary, historical, and scientific topics and themes, allowing students to build content knowledge, strengthen vocabulary, and develop critical thinking skills. This program is aligned to the Reading Language Arts Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards and draws connections to the strands from the social studies and science subject areas, though it does not explicitly teach social studies and science TEKS. 

To access the Kindergarten–Grade 5 Cross-Curricular Connections Overview, teachers should select their grade level and unit, then view the Daily Instruction tab from my.amplify.com. 

Located within the Planning Documents, teachers can reference the Kindergarten-Grade 5 Cross Curriculum Connections Overview PDF document at my.amplify.com.

The Amplify Texas Elementary Literacy Program (ELP) is not intended to replace the core social studies or science curriculum. The Amplify Texas ELP is designed to teach mastery with English Language Arts and reading TEKS while integrating topics.

Accessible from the my.amplify.com, the Cross-Curricular Connections can be found from the Program Resource page within the Planning Documents section.
