Let’s Explore Civics and Celebrate America Reading Kit

Engage students with civics and American history as you strengthen literacy skills. 

This Tim Rasinski reading kit is designed to make U.S. history and national holidays come alive in the classroom and blends fluency practice, vocabulary building, and historical content through joyful reading experiences.

Students will:

• Perform reader’s theater and choral readings to build confidence, phrasing, and comprehension.
• Sing patriotic songs that reinforce vocabulary, rhythm, and U.S. traditions.
• Explore word roots and word ladders tied to civic themes, supporting phonics, spelling, and critical thinking.

Intended for grades K–6, this kit can be used for morning routines, literacy centers, small-group instruction, or full-class performance, giving you ready-to-use resources to connect reading instruction with civics learning.

Bring history, reading, and civic understanding together in a way that’s engaging, meaningful, and helpful to students becoming confident, expressive readers.
