I use Track 9 from the States
and Capitals CD by Twin Sisters to help students learn their states and
capitals.
These books, guides,
and dvds from Amazon.com provide excellent supplemental Social Studies
teaching tools. I have used all of these items in my class lessons. They work.
Best of all . . . The students love them!
