Developing Literacy in Spanish Using Scholastic News Magazines

Funded Sep 16, 2020

I want to thank you for enriching the Spanish language arts classrooms I was asked to teach in Beloit, Wisconsin during this most difficult of times. Kids have not had much access to regular books or literary resources as libraries have been closed, students have been kept at home and instruction has been mostly virtual or distance learning.

The Spanish-language Scholastic News Magazines program also known as Mary Glasgow Magazines afforded me with the opportunity to offer my students instruction in the four domains associated with language:

- listening through the audios and videos

- reading the articles and passages

- writing by reflecting and responding to the articles

- speaking by discussing the information.

My struggling readers were able to receive a much more engaging curriculum by way of the donations that you provided. The videos that the program offers were truly amazing and enthralled my students. Thank you so much once again for your generosity.”

With gratitude,
