NIE Engages Students
Using the Newspapers In Education program brings the world into the classroom. Any teacher can use the newspaper as a textbook and teach every skill from the news.”

My students use the newspaper articles to learn close reading skills aligned with the Common Core State Standards. They have become more critical readers of all texts and critical consumers of information through access to these materials.”

My students are presented with editorials and select news articles for real-world writing strategy analysis, editorial/persuasive writing exposure, and highlighting parts of speech for grammar reinforcement. STAR Reading class average now exceeds 1.6 years of growth within a 5-month period and most can identify all foundational parts of speech due to cooperative analysis of newsprint.”

Using the NIE newspaper access and lesson plans, we engaged in a discussion about the importance of respecting other cultures when choosing Halloween costumes. It was not something the students had thought about before, but using real-life examples and current news sources prompted them to think globally rather than personally.”
