• Update information contained in textbooks.
• Make reading “fun” - motivate learning.

Through the use of the Newspaper in Education programs, students can become better informed and, ultimately, be better citizens. Businesses and society will remain healthy into tomorrow only if emerging readers begin today to read, think and be curious about what is happening around them, and learn to identify the tools that will enable them to help themselves.
