A great resource will this be weekly or monthly? Very useful having the teacher notes to go with it

  Hi Natalie, At this stage the magazines are being released per year level, one each month. Our aim is to have four magazines per year level with 10 articles in each magazine. This would mean an entire year's worth of magazine content for each year level on the Teach Starter site. Our next release is the year two magazine next Wednesday. Subsequent releases for each year level will happen in descending order. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hi I can't seem to find the Milton Mentor reading but there are task cards for it? Thanks

  Hi Kirsty, Milton Mentor is the 'fake' advertisement on Page 4. If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact me.
