The remaining cost would be supplemented by the NIE's Literacy Through Partnerships program. What You Get With NIE Teachers ordering classroom sets of the Journal receive free teaching materials. The Journal's NIE program has over 40 subject-specific educational guides to choose from. These guides include newspaper activities to assist teachers in integrating the Journal into their curriculum. They are available upon request when NIE orders are placed.
Teachers also receive special student supplements.
Throughout the school year the Journal produces tabloid-size sections for NIE teachers to distribute to their students. These sections focus on special areas of the curriculum such as geography, natural resources, writing, cultural diversity, media, literacy and consumerism. They are designed and written to appeal to students' interests. The Newspapers in Education program provides more than newspapers and teaching materials. For example, a first-grade teacher may want to know how the newspaper can be used with her group to teach language skills.
