These materials will provide my students with high-interest fiction and non-fiction stories including current events that would maintain their interest and get them excited about reading. The texts are for 5th graders, but also rich in text features, figurative language, and descriptive passages. It’s a balancing act and a labor of love. Scholastic magazines will allow my students to keep up to date with their general education peers on topics of interest while learning phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension. I feel extremely confident that the features of the various reading articles within these magazines will challenge, fascinate, and delight my students.
