My Students

Reading is the key to success in life! My students have very few outside reading sources. Time for Kids would provide the opportunity to read for pleasure, while at the same time improving comprehension skills.

Our Title I school has approximately 550 students enrolled this year.

The school is over 50 years old. We're located in rural Alabama where much of the employment is agricultural or military-related. This is the second year our state educational system has been in pro-ration. There are no funds accessible to teachers for use in purchasing subscription services for our classrooms. Our students are predominately from low-income homes. The majority of students are eligible for free and reduced lunches. Many of the students live with only one parent, or are being raised in the homes of relatives.

My Project

Whenever we receive samples of student periodicals in the mail, students want to read them cover-to-cover! Recently, I found some old copies of Time for Kids and shared them with my class. Although the issues were out-of-date, the articles were still very interesting and sparked great classroom conversations. I realized that periodicals, no longer affordable in the current economic circumstances, are great tools for encouraging reluctant readers, and engaging all other readers. I believe students also benefit from "ownership" of the reading materials. If our class were to receive subscriptions to Time for Kids, each student would have their very own copy each week. They would be able to take it home and share it with their family and friends as "their magazine". Reading at home would become a pleasant experience. Time for Kids would be a great supplementary teaching aid, too!

"If I were a rich teacher..." (Think Fiddler on the Roof!) I would love to be able to purchase everything my students need (and sometimes, my husband thinks I try to do just that...when he's balancing our check-book!)!

Subscriptions to Time for Kids would be a great way to share reading across the curriculum, while providing a concrete "gift" to my students each week!
