Nothing is more important than educating our children, for they are the guardians of the future.
Yet, as teachers know, reaching young minds can be difficult. Today's teachers are continually challenged to find creative ways to inspire our children to learn, ways to capture their imaginations and to equip them with the critical resources they will need to approach the future with confidence. The Houston Chronicle is helping to meet the challenge. Teachers may order newspaper subscriptions at an educational rate for use in the classroom. In both local and national research studies, newspapers have been shown to be effective instruments for improving student performance in such basic skills as reading, composition and mathematics.
