I teach in a wonderful, but large school of over 600 students. Our school is one of 14 elementary schools in the largest school district in New Hampshire. Our students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. We share a love of learning and a strong community. Having quality, interesting and appropriate materials for student use is a constant quest, as is money for resources.
Having high interest current stories for guided reading is a must to foster life-long readers.
Storyworks magazine provides such stories in several genres, at a range of reading levels, with fantastic resources.
My Project
How do you get students to love reading? Give them great things to read. Children have varied interests, so having Storyworks and Storyworks Jr. magazine with great stories that are fiction, non-fiction, plays, debates, informational articles, poems, grammar fun and contests, brings something for everyone. I can't wait to read each new issue cover to cover. It's that good. Then I choose from a wide variety of online resources to bring these stories to life for my students.
Making reading exciting is so important, it's wonderful to have interesting and current stories, with ready to use resources that prepare students for close reading and deep thinking.
The resources available for each written feature are phenomenal, and adapted for different levels.
