How do students benefit?

Students from kindergarten to grade 12 discover exciting information about current events, science, and social issues that affect their lives. Using newspapers as teaching elements helps teachers develop competent students in basic skills like reading and math. The newspaper is an ideal classroom tool because:

• Newspapers are timely and relevant. Current affairs come alive, while ads deal with real products, prices and events.
• Newspapers motivate. There is something in every newspaper to interest every student: comics, sports, ads, photographs and local features.
• Newspapers are adaptable. Students can read, cut, paste, fold, spindle, tear, color and write on a newspaper … and then recycle it.
