[CASL-L] RE: RE: online or print NONFICTION magazines

[Crean, Sue]

Hi,
 I have found that Scholastic is a great free resource. I signed up as a
Scholastic User many years ago and I am able to get current student
articles under teacher resources.  The entire print version is clearly not
available free, but certainly many terrific articles are there. They are
also updated fairly frequently. For example, the Boston bombing had up to
date current articles.
Hope that helps,
Sue Crean
