Scholastic Reads

The Scholastic News Kids Press Corps is the country’s oldest and largest student reporting program. This year, our team of young journalists is out on the campaign trail, meeting candidates and covering caucuses, primaries, and debates. In this episode, we talk with two Kid Reporters about their experiences reporting on the election so far. We also hear from Classroom Magazines editorial director Steph Smith about how Scholastic covers the race for the White House for kids, and from middle school teacher Josh Torpey about how he gets students in his Humanities class thinking deeply about the election.  Guests: Steph Smith, Editorial Director, Classroom Magazines  Scholastic Kid Reporters Bobby Sena and Lilian Jochmann 7th grade Humanities Teacher Josh Torpey (The Institute for Collaborative Education, New York) Additional Resources: Learn more about The Scholastic News Kids Press Corps and meet our 2016 Kid Reporters here.
