We understand that every classroom is full of readers at varying levels. Here are some ways you can use our online materials to differentiate for all the readers in your classroom:

Starting in February, we provide a version of each issue that is written at a lower Lexile level than the printed issue. Here’s how to find it:

• Go to the issue page and click on “Listen and Read.”
• Then select “Easier Level,” and you’ll be taken to the digital issue. It has all the features of the on-level issue, including the vocabulary slideshow and the interactive page 4 activity.

Striving readers can get a comprehension boost from our audio read-aloud feature. Each issue is read by a real person (not a computer voice!), with words highlighted as they are read aloud. This feature is great for modeling fluent reading. The lower-Lexile level version of the issue also has the audio read-aloud feature.

Scholastic News Edition 1 supports students in the exciting adventure of learning a second language. We bring our early childhood language learners motivating, seasonal nonfiction that builds knowledge and vocabulary to help students become proficient bilinguals. Our delightful digital resources are tailored for emergent bilingual children, either English as Second Language (ESLs) or Spanish as Second Language (SSLs) learners. We incorporate active learning and best teaching practices.

All of our digital issues, videos, and skills sheets are available in Spanish. You can toggle between the Spanish and English versions of the website by clicking this button.

You can also filter by language in our archive.

Don’t forget to try the read-aloud button on our Spanish issues. You’ll hear a native Spanish speaker read the issue.
