"NIE brought a dimension to the learning not provided in textbooks. Kids like to discuss what's in the paper."
-Pam Conine, Perry Elementary School
"As a teacher of students with autism, the newspaper is so beneficial. Not only can you tie in the newspaper and activities with all subjects but also it is a hands-on and real-world application."
-Jill Radler, Ottawa-Glandorf High School
"NIE is a great opportunity to help students become more familiar with informational text. They learn about current events and important events happening in Lima It also helped develop essential reading skills and strategies."
-Kathy Walker, Unity Elementary School
"The city of Lima had a very turbulent year. The regular reading of the news allowed my students to gain relevant community information and it gave us many spring boards for class discussion. It also helped us make numerous connections to school lessons through articles of interest."
-Karen Young, Lima North Middle School
"The newspaper provides a valuable resource for staying current about events. Many students do not realize that they learn from the newspaper which makes learning for them more fun. I use the newspaper to enhance my curriculum. I use it daily in my lessons. Examples: summarizing articles, identifying details, sending out application letters, debates over cover stories relating to legal issues, stats for math, etc."
-Tracy Potts, Continental High School
