Newspaper in Education is an international program of cooperation among newspapers, schools and local businesses that value quality education and a literate community.
Through The Repository's NIE program, forward-thinking area businesses join with The Rep to bring the most up-to-date teaching tool available into the classroom - the newspaper.
Learning from the newspaper in the classroom goes beyond current events. Students using the newspaper in the classroom can learn basic economic concepts, can analyze data track trends, learn critical thinking concepts and gain insight into the world as it's happening around us. Students show that using the newspaper in the classroom increases motivation, reading skills, achievement scores and improves behavior.
With regard to adult literacy, newspapers provide a sensible non-threatening way for an adult to learn to read. More than 630,000 newspapers will be delivered free of charge to Stark County area schools in the 1999-2000 school year. Hundreds of teachers are benefiting from NIE, made possible by our generous business partners.
