Love these magazines and they make up a big part of our differentiated literacy. Are the other year levels far away?

Hi Nette,
Keep an eye on the Teach Starter website! We’re currently working on Issue 2 for all the other year levels. You should start seeing them appear fairly regularly and very soon!

is the year 6 issue 2 ready to be downloaded? I have clicked on it several times and says it has moved or is not avaliable.
