The Newspaper as a Teaching Resource

The Grand Rapids Press gives your students a link to dozens of educational subjects that they will find incredibly interesting- local news; state, national and world news; weather; sports; technology; business; movie reviews; classifieds and more! The newspaper is a timely, vast reading resource that keeps kids of all ages engaged in reading.

Plus, Supplemental Materials Just for Students & Teachers

Each month, a different subject is explored in special campaigns that complement the newspaper. This special content, written just for kids and teachers, will periodically come to your classroom in one or all of these formats:

• NIE columns printed in the newspaper


• Supplemental newspaper sections that you will receive in addition to your newspapers


• Online curriculum materials that can help you incorporate the topics into your lesson plans.
