Would recommend to any students from grade 2- 8!
I use this newspaper for my class and my students love it! They revamped the website and prices (I noticed that was an old product description). I tried to use weekly reader and time for kids but found that this newspaper (an ACTUAL newspaper) has the most relevant information.
