The National Elementary Schools Press Association is an organization dedicated to helping elementary and middle schools start new and improve existing class and school newspapers. The association serves as a clearinghouse for schools interested in sharing information and newspapers with member schools from coast to coast. Educational research shows that students write more and better when they are writing regularly for a real audience.
School newspapers offer kids wonderful writing opportunities for real audiences.
These publications are filled with ideas, suggestions, hints, software reviews, and more. Teacher members are invited to submit their ideas and new discoveries for future editions of both publications. The association also helps schools share their newspapers by encouraging paper swaps with fellow members.
