Newspapers in Education
The Daily News Newspaper in Education (NIE) program brings the world to the classroom and gives teachers a new 'textbook' every morning.
The program helps improve students' reading and critical thinking skills. Because the Daily News covers news on a variety of subjects, each day contains something of use in every class, and students gain an awareness of local, state, national and world issues.
NIE offers a way to contribute to the education of local students.
To order the newspaper for your classroom or to become a sponsor, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
