"Without a doubt, using the newspapers with my students has improved not only their literacy success but also their confidence and reading fluency." - Snake River Elementary
"What a great resource your paper is! My kids did much better on their ISATs this year because of the work we do with the Idaho Press-Tribune" - Lewis & Clark Middle School
"The NIE program fills the gap for our students - thanks for making it available! Many times the classroom newspaper is the only place my students encounter news at all." - West Middle School
"We used the papers every day in my language / reading class and there was a noticeable improvement in their reading scores! I appreciate how the resources you provide with the Idaho Press-Tribune help to further reinforce Idaho Academic Standards." - Caldwell High School
"My students are always excited to get the newspaper. They head for the sports section right away. Thank you for providing yet another valuable component to a print rich environment." - Holmes Elementary School
"I use many of your suggested lesson plans that go with the newspaper. They fit in our curriculum easily and cover every subject or lesson I come up with. They also help make sure that my curriculum covers academic standards for the middle school curriculum." - Vallivue Middle School
"First thing each morning, my students go straight to the newspaper and READ it! I like to hear discussion about what they've read, discussion that is not initiated by me." - Kuna High School
"The serial stories have given my English Literature students, especially my English Language Learners, the opportunity to follow story elements over months until they reach some of the deeper kinds of thinking that our current educational standards encourage n reading fluency practice, grammar practice, story elements work, mainly in characterization and theme, genre discussions, and, of course, vocabulary building. I commend the Idaho Press Tribune for printing the stories in Spanish as well as English. Even though my students use the English version in our classes, they are able to take the chapter home each week and share the latest installment with their families in Spanish. Believe me, that outreach matters!" - Homedale Middle School
"The resources that the Idaho Press-Tribune provides to participating Newspapers In Education classrooms n at no charge - are useful across the curriculum, at home or in school, with high technology or no technology. I find them to be of high quality and full of activities holding great appeal for students." - Parma High School
