Readership Program

The News in Education program is a world wide initiative geared towards promoting the use of newspapers as an educational resource, supplementing classroom instruction and textbooks. We believe that there is no better resource available to encourage literacy, while fostering lifelong learning and critical thinking skills. Students are able to apply concepts they learn in math, reading, science, history, marketing, and civics while gathering a deeper understanding of the world around them.

The Virginian-Pilot's Educational Services Program provides newspapers and services to schools, colleges, adult literacy programs, youth detention centers and other accredited educational programs in the metro and outlying areas of Hampton Roads and Northeast North Carolina. Our program is available for students of all ages and ability levels, and includes newspaper-based curriculum materials and student supplements to support the Virginia Standards of Learning.

The Virginian-Pilot's Web Site: http://www.usepilotnews.com  provides several resources and targets five curriculum areas:

	Business
	Education
	First-Year Program
	Health and Sciences
	Political Science

The VIRGINIAN-Pilot is circulated to the lobby of all residential halls and is available during the regular academic calendar.
