How can I make the most of my magazine's digital resources in the classroom?
It’s up to you! Many teachers use classroom computers or tablets with students, or project using an interactive whiteboard or projector. The videos are a good place to start because they make exceptional pre-reading activities. Each one offers background information and gets students excited about what they’re going to read. In addition, you can project articles to read as a group, or help direct individual reading. Your digital subscription is also excellent for post-reading with printable skills pages that assess reading comprehension and other skills.
Refer to your Teaching Guide for the best way to effectively integrate your magazine’s digital resources into your lesson plans.
How do I get my Teacher's Guide?
Teacher's Guides—which include copies of the student magazines—are supplied in print at no additional cost as follows:
When your magazines are shipped in two or more packages, all Teacher’s Guides are sent together in one of the packages.
If you have print and digital access, your Teacher's Guide is also online. You will find it on the homepage or through the “search” function. You can download and then save or print a PDF copy of it.
Can I access older issues of my magazine after the website has been updated to a new issue?
Yes! Your complete digital issues with all of their related teaching resources (such as videos and skills sheets) are available to you all year in your magazine archive. Simply click on the “All Issues” button at the top of every webpage, or search for a specific article or video.
How do I save an article or teaching resource to use later?
You can save your favorite resources to use later by bookmarking them. Look for the small bookmark icon in the right corner of issue pages or teaching resources. Click on it, and when it turns pink with a yellow star, you've saved that resource for later.
To find your bookmarked resources, go to “My Bookmarks” at the top of the site.
I'm having trouble playing videos. Please help!
