Tutor Tips - Newspapers and Comprehension
Newspapers
- We take it for granted sometimes; the newspaper comes out
everyday, we read it, catch up on what happened all over the
world the day before, and move on with today. We look at the
tables and graphs of some interesting study conducted, look
at the weather map for the week ahead, rummage through the
classifieds here and there, and comics - who can put the paper
down without reading them!
All aspects of the newspaper
are very good tools to use with students from kindergarten
grade to the adult struggling with reading comprehension.
Although most students don't even realize it, there is something
in the newspaper for everyone!
Stop in the main office - we
have MANY newspaper activities for you to try with your students.
Also, we receive a weekly "News for You" at the
office, which is real news just written at a lower level and
with bigger print. There are also activities to do after you
and your student has finished the paper. Come in and check
it out!
