I have just discovered the magazines today when trying to find some appropriate reading material for my 1/2 class, to read during this period of home learning. They look fantastic. Have also downloaded the Year 1 magazine and the task cards to use with both editions. Looking to use these in Term 2 either back in the actual classroom or through google Classroom. I agree with Kim, they are engaging and perfectly pitched for the age group. My capable independent readers will love these. Thankyou for such an amazing resource :)
Hi Leanne, Thank you for your kind words! We're glad to hear they are hitting the mark!
I am loving these magazines and the task cards that come with them. I ma using the Year 2 mag for my very low readers in Year 4. Great to use as comprehension tasks as well and in guided reading session especially for the support officers who work with the children. It's all there. Will you be producing a second edition of all the different grades ?
