In our May issue...

As the school year comes to an end, student writing is celebrated. Student writers from Texas, Florida and California share stories on various topics. Famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma brought his Bach Project to the border's sister cities of Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. There is a brief introduction to the Department of Justice since it and Attorney General William Barr have been in the news. In May we celebrate Mother's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Asian Pacific Heritage Month and Memorial Day. Memorial Day dates back to the Civil War. Civil War "reenactors" are pictured. What do you know about the Voice of America? Our health story notes that parents are being urged to get their children vaccinated for measles. Gardening is a topic in this issue. Does your town have a community garden? Does your library or community center have a seed library? In sports, Tiger Woods made a comeback. The Kentucky Derby and Indianapolis 500 are events held in May. Financial literacy gives information on what to do before you buy a used car. The movie review is on a film about Guide Dogs for the Blind. A play to read with children ties in with Mother's Day.

All this and more in the May issue.

Student writing of the month is from Literacy Achieves in Dallas, Texas. Bonus student writing is from Bakersfield Adult School in California.

NEW - A pre-crossword puzzle worksheet is available to give your students additional practice!

NEW - Answer keys are now posted for Learning Activities and can be printed out!

Help celebrate our 20th anniversary!
