I teach two classes of ELA and Social Studies, and this resource was an extra addition to help enrich my students learning.\r\n In ELA we have small group time and StoryWorks is a great magazine that helped my students who were on grade level or needed a challenge. They loved reading the different stories especially the plays.\r\n In Social Studies, we used the Scholastic News magazines. The students love the online resources that came along with the magazine. They play games to test their knowledge and they love watching all the informative videos.
