The section began in 1993. It reaches more than 30,000 children each week in more than 1,000 schools around the state. The News for Kids section makes national, international and local news more understandable. It looks at issues children are interested in, such as standardized testing, picking a pet and how to play hockey. It covers celebrities, sports and offers educational games and puzzles.
Teachers can receive the paper at a reduced rate.
Monday through Saturday issues cost 27 cents per paper. You will be billed for the newspapers. There are many sources that could buy the paper for your classrooms, such as parents in your school, your PTA, a school partner or local businesses. News for Kids also can find a business to sponsor your class if necessary. You will be placed on a waiting list until a match can be made.
