I am a 6th grade ELA teacher in a Title I school. Other than at school, many of my students don’t have access to print books or digital literacy materials. In addition, a good portion of the students in my inclusion class have learning disabilities, such as dyslexia and ADHD, making it difficult to comprehend the grade level texts provided by the school.
With digital access to Scholastic Scope Magazine, I will be able to provide my students with engaging and differentiated reading materials to meet their individual learning styles.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
