    This is taken from an announcement that was just pushed out:

     "ALA Editions, the book publishing arm of the American Library Association, is pleased to announce a new educational series, “Discover and Learn with the Library of Congress,” to be published in association with the Library of Congress.

    Combining facsimiles of primary sources from the Library’s unparalleled collections with background information and teaching strategies, titles in the series will present classroom-ready materials for teachers, librarians, and home educators working with grades 6–12. Organized thematically around topics frequently taught nationwide—and designed to support state curricula and teaching standards— these accessible resources will provide proven, student-centered, inquiry-based strategies for teaching with primary sources. Selections feature perspectives and voices that are often missing from typical textbook narratives and reflect best practices in information literacy by providing source citations, information about the sources’ origins, and guides to additional online resources.

    Here is more information about the format of the series and possible topics:  https://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2024/01/library-congress-and-ala-announce-new-educational-series

      6 - 8    9 - 12    Social Studies/History    Library    English/Language Arts    Bilingual Education/ESL
