Kid Scoop
–the page for kids in Monday edition of The Free Lance–Star

[View sample page]

Written by a former teacher, this colorful page for kids features pencil-grabbing activities that get kids' hands and minds into the newspaper. Kids love the timely topics and fun games, and teachers appreciate the correlation with curriculum objectives for language arts, math, science, social studies and character education.

Order Monday's Free Lance–Star and your lesson plans will be ready and waiting for you-every Monday! You'll also receive Teacher Scoop, a monthly newsletter with upcoming topics and additional lesson ideas.

The Weekly Writing Corner
An exciting component of Kid Scoop is the Weekly Writing Corner. Each week, kids age 12 and under are invited to submit work on a specific topic for publication in The Free Lance–Star. Each Monday, we print at least eight entries from local students in The Free Lance–Star.
