My Students
My students are immigrant children from impoverished homes. There are many special education students with IEPs that struggle with school work. Their parents struggle to make ends meet and do not have access to news in English. They often watch Spanish or Russian or Arabic tv shows. The students have been struggling with achieving passing scores on the State ELA Exam. Most are reading at least two grades below grade level. The students'parents are involved in their education but are limited in their knowledge of English and don't have the extra funds to supplement their children's education.
My Project
My students would greatly benefit from the non-fiction articles and interesting news tidbits that are presented in Scholastic News Magazine. It would expose their families to current events in the English language, as well. By reading Scholastic News articles, the students are also preparing for the New York State ELA Exam since the questions and activities that accompany the magazine are all aligned with the new Common Core Standards. The subscription also provides the class with access to informational videos related to the cover stories. This is extremely helpful to our students that are new to the English language, as well as, the learners who benefit from auditory and visual supports.
