LesPlan - The Canadian Reader

The Canadian Reader / Nos Nouvelles is a classroom-ready current events resource for students in grades 3 and up. This publication, available in English and in French, combines current Canadian events and issues with geography to expand students' knowledge of Canada while enhancing their ability to read and understand informational text.

Published eight times during the school year, each issue focuses on one of six key reading comprehension strategies – making connections, questioning, visualizing, inferring, summarizing, and synthesizing/transforming – and includes:

• three news stories, written at a level students can understand;
• detailed literacy-based lesson plans, including ready-to-use graphic organizers and criteria for assessment;
• a map assignment featuring a region of Canada highlighted in one of the articles;
• Did You Know? – a non-fiction comic strip featuring background information related to one of the news stories, accompanied by a lesson plan and supporting material.

Members will be sent a monthly issue to the email address that they registered with. 

The annual subscription is $10 for 8 issues (regular $210) which is only $1.25 per issue for this valueable resource.

Members may register at any time during the year but will not receive previous month issues.

If you register after the 15th of the month, you will need to wait for the following month. 

In order to receive the September issue, you must register by September 20th.  September issues will be sent on September 20th.
