Scholastic News Interactive


Did you know that with your order of 10 or more subscriptions to Scholastic News (Grades 1-6), you get a FREE digital edition of the magazine?!

These interactive issues allow your students to read and learn in a whole new way! Teachers and students can hear text being read, highlight text, add digital sticky notes, view videos, define words, and explore additional resources. Teachers can use the mask tool to show students the focus area of the magazine. Teachers can also select an alternate level (in some magazines) for easier text. The "show what you know" quiz page gives you instant feedback on your answers. Comprehension skills sheets are available to print to check for understanding.  

For this week's post: Go to the site to watch a demo or take a tour! Tell us how you would use Scholastic News to enhance your curriculum. Would you use it with your home class or your reading class?
