It’s up to you! Many teachers use classroom computers or tablets with students, or project using an interactive whiteboard or projector. The videos are a good place to start because they make exceptional pre-reading activities. Each one offers background information and gets students excited about what they’re going to read. In addition, you can project articles to read as a group, or help direct individual reading. Your digital subscription is also excellent for post-reading with printable skills pages that assess reading comprehension and other skills.

Refer to your Teacher’s Guide for the best way to effectively integrate your magazine’s digital resources into your lesson plans.

If you are a print + digital subscriber, a print copy of your Digital Resource Guide—including lesson plans, standards correlations, and more—will accompany each print issue of your magazine.

Your Digital Resource Guide is also online. You will find it on each magazine’s issue page, or through the “search” function. You can download and then save or print a PDF copy.

The ability to download is indicated by an icon with a downward-pointing arrow with a line under it. 

Some browsers are set to save PDFs in a temporary location, which may be hard to locate. To view the documents you download, change your browser's “Download” settings or identify the folder to which your browser saves documents. It may be called “Downloads” in your “My Documents” folder. Once you open the PDF in your browser or Adobe Reader, you may choose to print the file.

Yes! Your complete digital issues with all of their related teaching resources (such as videos and skills sheets) are available to you all year in your magazine archive. Simply click on the “All Issues” button at the top of every webpage, or search for a specific article or video.

You can save your favorite resources to use later by bookmarking them. Look for the small bookmark icon in the left corner of an article or teaching resource. Click on it, and when it turns blue, you've saved that resource for later.

To find your bookmarked resources, go to “My Bookmarks” at the top of the page.

You can copy links to issues, articles, and PDF files such as skills sheets. Look for the small link icon in the left corner of an article or teaching resource. Click on it, and it will show you the link to the resource to copy. You can paste that link into an email, chat,  or learning management system like Google Classroom.

Video performance will vary depending on the speed and quality of your school’s equipment and internet connection. Some tips for streaming videos successfully in class include:

• Close any applications you’re not using on your computer. If you have too many applications open, your computer may run slowly.
• If you receive the message “Video stream is currently unavailable,” try playing it in another browser or clearing your browser’s cache. To clear your cache:
  • Chrome: Go to “Chrome,” and select “Clear browsing data.” Check the box “Cached images and files,” and click on the “Clear Browsing Data” button.
  • Firefox: Go to “History,” and select “Clear Recent History.” Expand “Details,” and ensure “cache” is checked. Select a time range, and click the “Clear Now” button.
  • Safari: Go to “History,” and select “Clear History” at the bottom. Then, select a time range, and click the “Clear History” button.
  • Internet Explorer: Go to “Tools” (via the gear icon), and select “Safety.” Then click “Delete browsing history.” Ensure you’ve unchecked “Preserve Favorites website data” and checked both “Temporary Internet Files” and “Cookies.” Then click “Delete.”
• Load the video in advance. If you are able to access your magazine’s website prior to teaching, you can do this by simply clicking play and then pressing pause. When the video player is in paused mode, the video will continue to load. When you are ready to begin your lesson, simply press play to begin the video. You can do this hours in advance or just a few minutes prior to your lesson.

If you are still having trouble watching videos, your school's internet firewall may be preventing you from watching them. To access our video content, ask your systems administrator to allow access to all the URLs on the page.  If you still cannot play videos, please call customer service at 1-800-SCHOLASTIC and choose option 2, or send our team an email.
