Welcome to the Richmond Times-Dispatch

Newspaper In Education program. Teachers will find a host

of information about using newspapers in their classes to teach math,

science, social studies and language arts. Thanks for visiting!

Have you ever used the comics to teach fractions?

Or used datelines to plan a trip around the world?

Or even had students plan a well-balanced meal for their family

using advertisements?

Have you ever used the newspaper to teach anything besides current

events?
These are all

activities that can be done using the newspaper. In

a time where textbooks are the focal point of the curriculum, the

newspaper is a supplement that provides up-to-date information to

which students can personally connect.

Recent studies have shown that the use of

newspapers in the classroom has been linked with improved SOL scores.
