There is substantial evidence that using newspapers in schools contributes to students extra-academic growth, as it challenges them to develop reading, speaking and critical thinking skills.

All of us, at some point of our schooling, have heard the instruction, ‘Read the newspaper everyday.’ Well, guess what? The instruction holds a lot of value. There is substantial evidence that using newspapers in schools contributes to students’ extra-academic growth, as it challenges them to develop reading, speaking and critical thinking skills. 

If you wish your child could improve his reading skills, then all you need to do is to hand him or her a newspaper. If you wish he got interested in science and technology, give him the day’s newspaper. That’s the beauty of newspapers; they have something that caters to almost all the interests of students. Moreover, students would love reading the newspaper because it makes them feel like an adult and it also gives them the freedom to choose their interest in the paper. 

There are so many instances when adults cannot communicate properly or are rendered inadequate in certain situations due to the lack of general knowledge. But by putting the practice of reading newspapers in young minds, you can avoid such situations. Newspapers open up the world to kids and also provide the necessary information about the same. Classroom conversations on news stories can be used as a teaching tool and also become opportunities for character building.

Sparking curiosity
But there are some rules to follow here. You can’t expect children to read the 
newspaper and get transformed, can you? Allow for discussion before, during and after each “newspaper period”. Don’t test children on what they have read, but use the opportunity to know their opinions and to share your own. Allow learners to select articles that interests them, work on it and report back to other learners.  
Ask questions like what do you think happened next? How do you think the person in the article felt? How does this picture make you feel? What would you have done? Take a series of newspapers. Direct the students to columns like ‘Letters to the Editor’, and ask them to read a few letters and discuss the ones they find most interesting. There is often one or more letters that can spark discussion or 
controversy. Make them write their own letters to the editor. They can respond to a published letter, or comment on a recent news item, in about 50-100 words and compare it with a partner.

Have students reflect in writing at the end of every newspaper lesson. Encourage them to do research on a specific article that appeals to them. Or you can also give short news items and ask them to write their own headlines.

Each section of a newspaper can be used for a variety of tasks — headlines, articles, photographs, editorials, letters, cartoons, weather forecasts, advertisements. It 
upgrades reading ability, sparks interest, furnishes variety of style and content, 
provides context and anecdotal reference; acquaints the reader with contemporary ideas, practices and trends, and gives an introduction to specialised topics.
