November 9, 2011 – At the Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School, students in Pat Kuttler’s second grade class have grown to love the Times Herald-Record’s Mini Page and have “adopted” it as their class newspaper.

These young readers choose to read the Mini Page during independent reading time. According to Kuttler, independent reading is an important component of the second grade reading curriculum. Students practice reading and comprehension strategies, fluency and enjoy different genres of literature.

“The Mini Page is a fun way for the students to enhance their reading skills,” said Kuttler. “It is adorable to see how the children sit and read like adults with a newspaper.”
