Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

The goal of the project was to integrate the weekly readers to increase students’ interest in reading, improve reading comprehension, and help students enhance their background knowledge. The students thoroughly enjoy using the scholastic weekly readers in the classroom and are very excited to use them at home and share their learning with their families. The magazines were used in various different ways including whole group instruction, small group centers. We were even able to use the Weekly Reader to teach a lesson on text features!
