I meant to write “read a few paragraphs from the newspaper out loud.”
golly, the newspapers are geared to a very low reading level (something around the fifth grade by current standards)
I would rather have them read from McGuffey’s readers that were used for eighth graders back at the turn of the 20th century

One of Today’s newspapers???
Spelling, grammar, and word usage (i.e., snuck etc.) is not too good these days. Spell checker will mix up its, it’s, and some of the different “toooo’s”, and something new each day.
