Newspapers in the Classroom Work!
The Killeen Daily Herald Newspapers In Education (NIE) program is a public service educational program that will assist teachers in the monumental task of preparing today's students for tomorrow's world. The Herald's program helps to make teaching and learning more exciting, challenging, and relevant to students of any grade level.
Under the program, the Killeen Daily Herald provides the newspapers at a reduced rate, 13 cents per copy/minimum 10 copies per delivery, to schools for use in their classrooms. Additionally, the Killeen Daily Herald provides a full range of support services and materials.
Why use newspapers in education?
- Newspapers are an adult medium. Students enjoy a feeling of importance when working with the newspaper.
- Newspapers bridge the gap between the classroom and the "real world" outside. Motivation for reading and discussion is built in.
- Newspapers contain something for every student -- comics, sports, editorials, advice columns, and much more.
- Newspapers provide the only up-to-date text available in print
- Newspapers contain history as it happens.
