Every American citizen has the right to vote. At WoogiWorld we want every American kid to feel like their voice will be heard as well. Click here to donate to help WoogiWorld make “Every Kid Votes” a landslide victory for our children.
Democracy Studies Weekly comes in 28 weekly units that look and feel like real newspapers. Each student’s weekly newspaper contains a standards-based social studies lesson, a current event that relates to the lesson being presented, and lots of fun and exciting articles, including biographical spotlights, insights into the history and character of democracy, puzzles and games, a comic strip, and much more! Democracy Studies Weekly is an ideal tool to help students practice skills in non-fiction reading and comprehension in preparation for state testing. Democracy Studies Weekly is also an ideal social studies teaching tool for homeschoolers! Over 55 thousand teachers have already committed to the Studies Weekly program starting in Sept. 2008.
