Scholastic News is a ready-to-go resource designed to meet a variety of teaching needs. Many teachers use the magazine to help their students build informational-text reading skills. Others use the print and online resources to teach current events and support their science and social studies curricula. 

Teachers also vary the ways they implement the magazine in their classrooms. They may use it to spark a whole-group discussion or as part of their small-group instruction. Some teachers simply assign the print and digital features for independent reading and homework. To help you make the most of all the great resources Scholastic News offers, we’ve developed this pacing guide. It features implementation suggestions and curriculum connections you need to plan Scholastic News lessons effectively and efficiently.
