Newspapers Are for Kids, Too! A Newspaper in Education Handbook for Parents [and] Eddy Torial Brings Big News for Small People (Fun Activities with the Newspaper for Kids).
Herrmann, Polly
Focusing on the theory that the newspaper can play an active role in children's education, this handbook shows parents how to use the newspaper to help their children learn and review the many skills needed in today's complex world. It suggests that parents (1) share the responsibility for teaching their children, (2) keep in mind children's strengths and weaknesses and refrain from forcing an activity if they become restless or disinterested, (3) give children plenty of time to browse through the newspaper independently, and (4) encourage children to use their imagination. The activities described in the booklet cover the areas of reading, writing, social studies, mathematics, and science. In addition, an illustrated, smaller booklet titled "Eddy Torial Brings Big News for Small People" suggests to children ways in which they can have fun with the newspaper. (JD)
