Top ten reasons we think NIE will enhance the learning experience:
10. NIE helps develop the habit of daily newspaper reading among students.
The paper is often the only text a majority of students will continue
to read throughout their lives.
9.
Newspapers in the classroom help make teaching more creative and challenging.
8.
Newspapers contain something for every student: real math problems, science
as it happens, editorials on current topics, local news, entertainment
highlights, classified ads and more.
7.
Newspapers enhance classroom projects and promote cooperative team efforts.
6.
Newspapers can be marked on, cut, pasted and colored-activities important
to young children who learn by seeing and doing. Newspapers provide children
with a new workbook every day!
5.
Newspapers have transfer effects-students learn from newspapers at school
and convey their knowledge at home.
4.
Newspapers contribute to independent reading, improved vocabulary, enhanced
comprehension, critical thinking and improved reading and writing skills.
3.
Newspapers are "living textbooks," reporting history as it happens, while
creating interest in current events.
2.
Newspapers bridge the gap between the classroom and the "real" world.
1.
Newspapers are motivational, lots of fun and TURN ON THE TURNED OFF!

Newspaper
in Education is an exciting and innovative program to motivate students
by using the newspaper as an educational tool in the classroom.
We
offer a special educational rate for delivery of the Santa Cruz
Sentinel directly to the classroom. At present, we have sponsors who will
cover the cost of the paper; available on a first-come, first-served basis.
