What's included

This series gives you a complete overview of the Stone Age and then breaks it into three ready-to-teach units: Hunters & gatherers, Fire, tools & caves, and From hunting to farming. Each unit contains five resources — a step-by-step lesson plan, a differentiated worksheet with a detailed reading passage and a word bank, a project or primary-source activity, a complete answer key, and a slideshow with picture prompts for discussion.

• Three reading levels — Basic, Standard, and Plus — so every learner works with the same topic at the right challenge.
• A hands-on project in every unit, from making a model stone tool to drawing your own cave-wall story.
• Varied task types: labeling, sorting, short answer, drawing, and simple compare-and-contrast questions.
• A vocabulary word bank in each worksheet to build history and social studies language.
• Kid-friendly, cited sources so students meet real history in age-appropriate words.
• No-prep and print-ready, with an instant digital download the moment you check out.
