Even my most reluctant readers now rush to grab a bean bag and dive into an article that interests them.\r\n\r\nWe've been using Scholastic News to connect our reading lessons to real-world topics. For example, during a recent lesson on nonfiction text features, students worked in small groups to identify captions, diagrams, and key details in their magazines. They discussed topics like endangered animals and new inventions, sparking rich conversations and curiosity beyond the text.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll continue using Scholastic News to build background knowledge and practice comprehension strategies as we prepare for our next writing unit. The bean bag area will also become our \"Reading Retreat,\" where students can reflect, write, and share what they've learned.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generosity, reading has become a joyful, meaningful experience for my students.
