[CASL-L] Thinking on Periodicals for an Intermediate School

[Crean, Sue]

My kids still seem to enjoy the periodicals especially Sports Illustrated
and GL, the more pop culture, less "academic" the better..  I cut back on a
couple, but still get a fair number.
ResearchitCT.org (iConn) has some popular titles online, but aside from
teachers using them; I don't see the kids logging in to read the
magazines.  I'm going to stick with them for awhile.
