The value of NIE in schools Our students greatly benefit from using the Newspaper in Education program. It assists the entire community in developing literate citizens capable of making informed decisions for their future. It has brought our students closer to learning through real-life applications. The weekly activities from all subjects generate varied learning opportunities for our students. Students are recognized for their contributions to the Writing Corner of the Kid Scoop page.
Students develop confidence and pride in their work.
Kid Scoop is a great vehicle that directly supports our curriculum within the classroom. Teachers can readily choose activities that reinforce classroom lessons and extend practice in acquiring competencies. The many activities from all subject areas such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, math, social studies, science, sports, and creative arts, support our content standards for learning in Oregon. The availability of the newspaper to our schools introduces students to the role and function of newspapers in their lives. It also increases the probability that children exposed to newspapers in their early years will become lifelong learners and readers.
