Weekly Reader publishes educational magazines and digital resources for students from Pre-K through grade 12. Its materials are built around a reading-comprehension framework and a defined progression of vocabulary and concepts, called Concepts of Comprehension, developed by the Urban Education Exchange to support year-to-year learning. The lineage of Weekly Reader goes back to 1902 with Current Events, followed by Current Science in 1927 and the weekly magazine debut in 1928, and the current portfolio comprises twelve publications organized by grade level for elementary students and by subject area for secondary students. Based in White Plains, New York, the company was acquired by Scholastic in 2012. Its products target teachers and schools seeking structured content that strengthens reading comprehension, understanding, and critical-thinking skills.
