The Student Worktext is a bright & colorful consumable print text (also available online as an etext) that prompts students to use the digital elements online (like videos, interactive assignments, games, and other tasks) as they work through the chapters. Students read through the lesson, complete comprehension checks and other questions designed to improve retention and understanding, work on map skills, complete writing workshop exercises, learn how to use primary and secondary documents, and more. Quest activities, "Big Questions" and "Jumpstart Activities" are included throughout - some elements are designed for classes/student partners and homeschool parents may have to adapt.

The Grade 1 curriculum features chapters on the rights and responsibilities of citizens, the geography of the community, symbols and traditions of the United States, Life Today and Long Ago, One Nation Many People, and Work in the Community.

The Savvas Realize digital platform includes the student and teacher etexts, student edition PDFs, chapter-by-chapter quests with separate sections for quest kick-offs, connections, and findings, chapter resources, vocabulary games, lesson reviews and online lesson quizzes, digital readers and more. Answers and lesson plans are found in the online teacher's guide.
