Building on the success and maintaining the "99 Jumpstarts" format of the two previous books, "99 Jumpstarts for Kids' Social Studies Reports" is divided into broad topical sections. Each topic is arranged in alphabetical order under its section. Topics are all new to this title and include the Ancient World, Historic World Events, State and Local History, U.S. History, Government and Citizenship, Sociology, Culture, and Economics. The book includes the following sections in each Jumpstart: a cited quote about the topic, Related Jumpstarts, New Words, You Are There, Topics to Consider, Books, Internet, For the Teacher, and a relevant activity. Each "Jumpstart" provides a helpful pathfinder that enables students to efficiently access information and learn new information literacy skills as they research topics of personal interest or for school reports. It is for grades 3-8.
