Most of my students come from low income homes and come from different parts of the world. I am hoping to instill the love of reading by exposing them to different genres, cultures, and traditions, including different types of text. This subscription to Times magazine will be so informative, articles and photographs will be child friendly, students will be able to take them home, share with their families and perhaps motivate them to read more about the world they live in and to learn new information. We will use these nonfiction magazines to also learn about text features, use them for research and data. They would be greatly appreciated!
