How to Use Magazines to Teach Informational Text

New Giveaway - Four Subscriptions to Sports Illustrated Kids

One of the best ways to teach informational text is through the use of children's magazines. From Scholastic News to Sports Illustrated Kids, these magazines include articles that your students will enjoy while they are learning to read informational text. Every so often I do a giveaway for subscriptions to Sports Illustrated Kids, and I've just started a new one. It will run from today through March 18th, and I'll be choosing 4 winners in that time. Get the details on Corkboard Connections and enter to win! This article also includes loads of tips for teaching informational text with children's magazines. One of the entries is to promote the contest, and if you share this email with your colleagues, you can consider it done and click that option!
