Hundreds of southwest Virginia teachers have discovered the
great value in using The Roanoke Times in their classrooms. No
matter what subject you teach, the Newspaper In Education (NIE)
program can provide you with classroom subscriptions and
exciting educational activity supplements to use with the
newspaper. A great program brings great test results. Research
has shown that on average, students in schools with at least
some NIE programs scored 10% better on standardized reading
tests than schools with no NIE programs. In schools with a large
percentage of low income, minority, or immigrant students, the
increase in test scores for those using NIE was as much as 29%.
In all cases, the more newspapers used in a school throughout
the year, the greater the gain in test scores. Each month we
will feature themed supplements for classroom use. Click below
