  1. Hi! Thank you for your amazing suggestions! Do you have a list of must have classroom “magazine subscriptions” for middle school? Like, Upfront, Boyslife, etc. Wondering if your students (or from experience) have gravitated toward certain ones more than others?

    1. I don’t have magazines beyond comics in the classroom because I want our students to have chance to sustain their attention with longer texts. We do so much short text reading that I want them to practice with longer texts.
