Mrs. Smith’s Classroom Edit display name

The use of non-fiction text in my classroom has been increasing throughout the past couple of years. I have found that the reading of non-fiction texts helps to increase the growth of reading levels. TIME for Kids will be a great resource that the students will enjoy. While I hope to increase the growth of reading in my classroom, the students will also be informed of current events around the world. I took a poll in my classroom, and less than a fourth of my students said that they watch the news or listen to it on the radio. This will provide my students current information in an age appropriate language. The TIME for Kids subscription includes weekly magazines with reliable and current news. The magazines provide articles written at different lexile levels. With it, will also be teaching materials that correlate with the Common Core Standards.
