My Project

Providing my students with high-interest articles is crucial to their engagement and learning. The Storyworks magazines from Scholastic give a variety of learners access to reading materials that meet their needs all while fully engaging them. The differentiated readings and activities allow all students to participate in their learning.

Storyworks provides students the opportunity to be fully immersed in current events, gives them access to high-interest articles at their instructional level, and helps develop their critical thinking skills.

My students are eager to learn about the world around them and these magazines are full of articles that share this content with them. The differentiated activities help me as a teacher reach all learners. The reading material, along with the activities, also helps build students vocabularies and critical thinking skills.
