NIE is a cooperative effort between local schools and
The Belleville News-Democrat to enhance learning
through use of the local daily newspaper in the
classroom. NIE offers a variety of exciting programs
designed to improve reading, writing and critical
thinking skills among elementary, middle and high
school students. The integration of newspapers in the
classroom allows teachers access to the most
current news and information on a variety of topics
while supporting academic standards requirements.
When newspapers are incorporated in the school
curriculum, students have the opportunity to relate
learning to real life situations. Newspapers have often
been called the "living textbook" and because the
newspaper is perceived as adult oriented reading, it is
often more motivational as a teaching tool than the
regular textbook. Studies have shown students
improve their reading and writing skills as a result of
using the newspaper in the classroom.
