Funds from this project have enabled us to fill all Daily Record classroom subscriptions at this time. The main goals of NIE are improving literacy rates and building a lifetime reading habit among children and adults. Newspapers are an excellent starting place to form reading habits because they provide articles on topics designed for many audiences. Newspapers make learning fun. Newspapers motivate students to read.
Newspapers entertain as they teach.
Newspapers give everyone something interested to read. Newspapers are ideal for building many educational skills. Children are more likely to read the newspaper when they have role models who do so. Teachers and parents who read and share newspaper articles teach their children to be interested in learning more about the world. Starting in September, The Daily Record Newspaper in Education program will provide newspapers for local teachers and students.
