Kelly recognizes that part of the reason students struggle with reading is because they lack prior knowledge and background. They can decode the words, but the words remain meaningless without a foundation of knowledge. To help build his students’ prior knowledge, he assigns them an Article of the Week every Monday morning.

Following are Article of the Week assignments curated by Kelly for the 2024-2025 school year. Kelly posts a new article each Sunday for the following week, except during holiday weeks. The most recent post is at the top of the list. Please note, all articles are subject to the copyright protections stipulated by the original source.
