Homeschooling Online - Newspapers in Education
One of the best tools for teaching children about politics, society, history, geography, and how to read is the local newspaper. It’s a great way to get your child interested in the community, sports, keeping up with current events, you name it. The much touted Newspapers In Education program has a website, located at http://nieonline.com. On the website there are lesson plans on how you can use newspapers to educate your child. These lesson plans will work jus as well in homeschool as in the public schools.
If you subscribe to your local newspaper your child is more likely to read the paper himself. If you read the newspaper and discuss the news with your child then your child should grow up to be a good citizen who stays informed of the issues in his local community as well as the hot issues at the state, national, and international levels. Use the newspaper to teach your children important lessons in life.
