About Newspapers in Education

Newspapers In Education (NIE) is a nationwide program whose purpose is to increase literacy of children by using the newspaper as a teaching tool. More than 700 newspapers in the US & Canada participate in the NIE program throughout the school year.

The Statesville R&L NIE program provides teachers with newspapers for their classroom each week, access to lesson plans in conjunction with the newspaper and serialized stories published in the newspaper at no cost to the teachers or the students. The Statesville R&L absorbs the costs of printing & distributing the newspapers for the program and relies on support from area businesses so educators may participate in the program at no cost.

Promote literacy and reading

Join with the community to help promote literacy and reading in our local schools!

Thank You NIE SponsorsThe Statesville R&L and Mooresville Tribune, strong believers in education, have implemented Newspapers in Education to promote literacy and reading in our local schools.

We provide the papers at the lowest possible education rate and with your donations; every student can receive the newspaper at no cost to them. By becoming a partner in our Newspapers in Education program your donation will help students to develop their reading ability, increase their social awareness, build character, enrich their civic education, and so much more.

Along with knowing that you are making an investment in your community, there are several other benefits related to corporate sponsorship. The benefits include: increased public recognition, enhanced public image and acknowledgement in the Statesville R&L and Mooresville Tribune.

Together we can make a difference in the quality of the education our children receive. Your donation will allow students and teachers access to the only textbook that is updated daily “the newspaper.”
