CONNECT 1-2-3 — Coming soon, watch for a new section of this site just for kids, to use with CONNECT 1-2-3. An archive of previous content is still available for download. This free weekly student newspaper for Utah schools can be ordered with the Deseret News once each month and provides three weeks of activities and newspaper reading in its pull-out sections. Reading CONNECT 1-2-3 provides students with a foundation for newspaper reading and becoming lifelong readers. It introduces great information to kids in school and parents at home for "work together" success. It gives teachers more tools to prepare students for what's happening currently in their world. It provides safety tips, reading ideas, holiday games, a look at real heroes and amazing facts. It enables families to discuss current events together, as Deseret News subscribers will receive it in their paper at homes while their students read it in school, making it easy to include in dinner-time conversation. It's a great new way to help develop literacy and reading!

KIDS LEARN BETTER WITH A NEWSPAPER — A study released by the Newspaper Association of America Foundation shows data indicating students in NIE programs do 10 percent better on standardized tests, that the greatest benefits of NIE are found in schools with large minority populations, and that significant increases in student performances occur in middle schools. Newspapers benefit learning, and the Deseret News NIE has a nationally-acclaimed program to help you raise test scores for Utah students.
