[LM_NET] TAR: MS Online magazines or newspapers for 8th grade

[Burrell Allison <aburrell@SCASD.US>]

My 8th grade language arts teacher is looking for an online (ideally free) 
newspaper or magazine to use for news articles with her students on their level. I 
have found the following but am wondering if there are better ones out there.

The Online News Hour Extra (Grades 7-12)

Junior Scholastic (Grades 7-8)

Weekly Reader

also see "News Update Archive" http://www.weeklyreader.com/featurezone/archive.asp

Thank you!
