UIL Social Studies "Focus" for A+ Grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 - NOW SHIPPING!

UIL A+ Social Studies Focus 2022-23 covers the Social Studies material selected by UIL (or PSIA) for the current school year. Focus books outline and encapsulate information and include synopses of the topic and a glossary of important people, places, and events to know.

What is the difference between the Focus and Core products?

We offer two sets of books to help students prepare for the UIL A+ Social Studies contests. The Core Concepts books reflect materials from the 4th-8th grade textbooks. They serve as a foundation for Social Studies contest prep covering key information that is likely to be used year-to-year in this UIL contest and are invaluable in classroom teaching. The Focus books are updated annually to fit the topic that is released at UIL Capital Conference each summer. If this topic happens to cover a few core concepts, there may be slight overlap for good measure.
