A subscription to Scope will help my students develop and strengthen their reading and writing skills. Although we have a wonderful ELA curriculum at our school, it is primarily online. I feel it is still important for students to look at magazines and books, as well as practice writing with pencil to paper. Both complement each other well, and will only benefit and build student skills.
Several areas of development will include close reading of texts, argumentative writing practice, and grammar analysis. There are essay challenges to win books and opportunities to evaluate persuasiveness of speeches. The magazine can be used throughout a month of teaching and enhancing students learning experience with fiction and nonfiction.
