Deal of the Day
A newspaper has been called the living textbook... And it does live up to that name!
A newspaper can be used to enhance skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, math, social studies and science.
Unlike textbooks that are several years outdated by the time they get into students’ hands, the newspaper comes alive with information. The newspaper expands the curriculum with an unlimited amount of information to use as a background for learning activities.
