Record releases, concert dates, and celebrity birthdays pack the News Zone's Pop Calendar. Star Spotlight gives kids the latest dish on their favorite singers and movie stars. Sports nuts can e-mail News Zone's sports expert, who can tackle any and all questions. A surf on the Pop Zone may be just the spin your child needs to pique his interest in News Zone's more educational features. Behind each of the four covers on the home page are issue-based activities, reports, related Web links, and other information that supplements the print editions.
Features vary from magazine to magazine and from week to week.
Features common to all four publications are the related Web links, What's Coming Up, What's in This Issue, and the quizzes. Quizzes for Junior Scholastic and Scholastic News Edition 3 are based on the entire edition, while quizzes for Scholastic News Editions 4 and Senior are based on news stories from pages 2 and 3 only. Other features are specific to individual magazines. Your child can send his comments to the News Zone by e-mail. He can also read comments from other students.
