Benefits of Program
This is a great resource to get students excited about learning the Science, Social Studies and current event topics we are teaching. The newspapers are age appropriate and engaging. They support our Daily 5 reading and ELD Speaking and Listening standards. They allow for great class discussions and peer-to-peer conversations. There is also an online component that is really engaging.
Success of Program
The success comes from great collaborative conversations. They add a lot of great facts/information to our curriculum. They are also very exciting and engaging. The students really look forward to reading them in the classroom together and taking them home to share with families.
Implementation
They are used weekly during our ELD time. We read them whole group, small group and independently. They are then taken home to be read with families.
