HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR E-NEWSPAPER

These quick tips can help make your newspaper experience run much more smoothly, from delivery to disposal.

Develop a strategy
Ask yourself, what do you want to accomplish by using the newspaper? Here are some suggestions:
1. Use the EALR — matched, subject-specific Newspapers In Education (NIE) curricula (NIE has more than 40 guides matched to the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements at this time - for a complete list, go to our curriculum listing).
2. Use one of the NIE special programs that are offered each year at specific times (see our program descriptions).

Review: Since the newspaper is often full of controversial material and material that is inappropriate for some age groups, particularly in elementary school, you should always check out the newspaper for that day before your students see it, if that is a concern.
Choose a section: Choose a specific section (sports, local news, etc.) and teach using just that one section.
Access from home: Since the e-newspaper is accessible from any computer with Internet access, students can access it from home or from a library. They can share the newspaper with their families and encourage those who are not subscribers to become newspaper readers and thereby promoting literacy.
