Earlier this month, I wrote about TweenTribune and its possible uses for reading and writing instruction and practice. The day after my students were assigned the task of reading a news story and writing a short comment about the story, one of my struggling readers reported to me, “I spent a whole hour reading the stories. They were all so interesting.”
Thank you TweenTribune!
Is there something like this for high school students?
If you go to the bottom of the TweenTribune site, you will see they also list a TeenTribune. However, when I just tried to go on the site, I found it is blocked at my school and said the reason was pornography. You might want to try it at home. Depending on your students, they might find the articles on Tween Tribune interesting. I know I do, and I am definitely not a teen.
Hello Robin,
We would like to suggest a complimentary website that brings mainstream news written specifically for children. Please take a look at Youngzine @ http://www.youngzine.com. Thanks!
