New Jersey Media Literacy — Grades K–2
Curriculum teams in New Jersey use this Grades K–2 guide to scope media literacy, digital citizenship, and news analysis for primary classrooms. Use short texts, picture prompts, and guided discussion. Keep vocabulary concrete and revisit the same media literacy habits weekly. Cross-check all requirements against your state department of education — this page supports planning, not legal compliance.
