This paper examines the contents and expressions of expository writing found in elementary school social studies textbooks. In addition, the language goals to be achieved (which are not covered in the Japanese language textbooks) are clarified. The following six skills were found to influence the comprehension of the social studies text : 1) understanding short reading passages, 2) infering context or logical progression of text, 3) distinguishing between different types of readings and extracting information, 4) grasping the whole meaning of a passage by taking into account the marginal notes, 5) comprehension of accompanying photos and charts related to the main text, 6) the ability to compare and contrast as well as infer cause and effect. By attaching importance to the above skills in both social studies and Japanese language classes, student ability to read expository texts can be greatly improved.
