Scholastic News is the cross-curricular nonfiction magazine that brings the world into your classroom. Each issue is packed with a wide variety of articles that build knowledge and ignite student discovery of real-world social studies and science topics such as current events, history, civics, technology and SEL. From debates to profiles of inspiring kids, our original stories spark curiosity, build empathy and foster rich discussion.

Rising Voices: STEM in Fiction

Grade Levels: K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Each Rising Voices Library provides students with high-interest, culturally relevant texts that give context to today’s world while celebrating the stories of the historically underrepresented. These stories are female focused, but are engaging for all readers. These books, paired with innovative teaching materials aligned to the CASEL framework, build a classroom community that broadens the world for students from all backgrounds and enables deep discussions about inclusivity, social justice, and empathy for others.

Scholastic has partnered with a unique group of S.T.E.A.M. mentors to curate a collection of stories that shatter misconceptions about girls and women as leaders in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. Access to these texts provides all children and educators an opportunity to celebrate aspirational stories of critical thinking and innovation.
