TIME For Kids
This website provides the short online version of the weekly classroom news magazine, TIME For Kids. It features the week’s cover story and other current events in a way that motivates kids to read. The magazine has separate publications for the 3 elementary levels, K-1, 2-3 and 4-6. The magazines provide the same articles appropriate to the grade levels. For the teacher, there are quick links to access mini lessons, comprehension quizzes, and teacher guides and worksheets related to the featured articles. The site also provides teacher resources such as graphic organizers, worksheets, and printable quizzes. For the student, The Kid Site features current events, entertainment news, around the world topics (of which one feature provides a short list of words and phrases), and a link to homework helper. There is also a link to games that stimulate reading and writing skills. According to the publishers, this site is sure to “motivate students to read” and the current events can easily be integrated across the curriculum, including social studies, science and math. I opened up a few of the links and found this site to be very user friendly and the resources are useful as a springboard for other activities.
