Get ready to roll … the great Reading Rally is underway! There’s no better resource for interacting with text than the newspaper where kids can circle words, cut out pictures, race through spelling scavenger hunts and practice reading text, opinions and articles. Everything from world events to local sports to crazy comics brings meaning to reading skills learned at school. This issue guides young readers on literacy and math adventures using news as the medium. So rev up your engines, grab a local paper and you’re off!
In this issue students will:
- learn about safety
- calculate race car sums and averages
- follow specific written directions
- write about an imaginary world without school
- use the newspaper to: locate dream car adjectives, practice spelling challenges, go on a shape hunt through the news, read closely to edit expository text
