Teacher appreciates free newspapers as instructional tool

| August 3, 2012 6:00 AM

I wanted to say thank you for providing free newspapers to our classroom this year. We received newspapers weekly and the students really seemed to enjoy them. I focused on having students recognize and read the main text features in a newspaper, such as the title, cost, heading, text, captions, photographs, maps, diagrams, advertisements and table of contents sections, as well as many others. They really seem to hae a handle on this important skill. It was one area our third and fourth grade students struggled with in the MSP in previous years, and although I teach it within our reading series, the newpaper is a great real-life example they will see throughout their lives.
