Longhorn Social Studies Grade 4 Learner's Book is a book that comprehensively and exhaustively covers the new Competency Based Social Studies Curriculum for Grade 4. It promotes the acquisition of core competences, relevant social skills, positive attitudes and values. It also promotes practical application of knowledge gained in the classroom. 

The content in the book is based on general experiences of the learner as well as Pertinent and Contemporary Issues (PCIs) covered in the curriculum. The book promotes social skills and values through activities and tasks which are organised within content areas, and that reflect the learner's environment and social realities in a simple but thought-provoking way. 

The activities and tasks also promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as acquisition of important life skills among learners for a quick and careful response to challenges in the society.
