The Washington Post Newspaper in Education Program
For Schools
A teaching tool like no other.
Students in NIE classrooms say it again and again: reading the newspaper is fun. That's why it is such a powerful teaching tool.
The NIE program takes students through a daily tour of current events and relevant features that provoke insight, analysis and thoughtful discussion. The newspaper becomes the most up-to-date textbook for students from elementary through senior high school. And the new KidsPost, published each day in the Style section, makes the news easier to for kids to understand.
Through the lesson plans and class exercises available with the program, the newspaper is transformed into a relevant text, providing students with hands-on opportunities to examine current events and explore issues related to their daily course work.
