Funded Aug 12, 2021It is wonderful to get the Science Schokastic Magazines. The magazines are always full of interesting topics especially about animals and my students love these. In reading the magazines have current topics and articles and the student learn how to find text evidence in these articles. Compared to our reading books which usually have long stories the magazine stories are short and interesting. We practice finding msin idea, facts, opinions and compare articles but we do a lot of discussions and respond in writing to them also.
In my classroom we learn important skills and strategies from our reading books but then we read independently at our levels to practice those strategies and skills by ourselves and having access to a variety of material broadens their minds and vocabulary.
Students really enjoy the magazines and reread them many times!
Thank you so much for supporting our reading!”
With gratitude,
