Junior Scholastic is a ready-to-go print and digital resource with rich and engaging content designed to meet a variety of teaching needs. It reinforces curriculums with robust support for standards including the National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies, Common Core ELA standards, TEKS, and other state standards. Many teachers use the magazine to enhance their social studies or ELA instruction, to teach current events, and to give students crucial practice reading informational text.

Some teachers simply assign the print and digital features for independent reading and homework.
