They also provide opportunities for students to strengthen their vocabulary, practice summarizing, and connect informational text to real-world events.\r\n\r\nWhat does reading look like in our classroom?\r\nReading is now an interactive and exciting experience! Students work in small groups, partner up for discussions, and respond to texts through writing and hands-on activities. Each magazine includes current, high-interest articles that spark curiosity and critical thinking, making reading something students truly look forward to.\r\n\r\nWho's loving these resources the most?\r\nSeveral students who were once reluctant readers are now eagerly grabbing the latest Scholastic News issue during independent reading time. They enjoy the colorful visuals and real-world topics that feel relevant to their lives. One student even shared, \"I love learning about what's happening in the world!\"\r\n\r\nWhy this matters\r\nBy providing differentiated resources, Scholastic News ensures that every student can learn at their level, while also challenging them to grow. These resources also give us flexibility for enrichment and make it easy to adapt for distance learning if needed.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just bring books into our classroom—it brought excitement, focus, and confidence to our readers.
