How To Create A Student Newspaper In Elementary School - Start a Family Newspaper

Home > Writing Activities > Student Newspaper

A family or student newspaper is a great way to get the kids writing.  It also teaches the importance of deadlines, and you can also place ads in your newspaper.  My children's grandfather has taken on the role as executive editor.  He keeps the kids on task.  My role is to take care of technical issues and advertising as well as do research online for the kids. All together, we publish a bimonthly paper.  You can view them below.  Note that the website advertised is my father-in-law's site, wayneofthewoods.com .  My father-in-law then emails out the paper to all his friends and family.  It may be coincidence, but since we have been getting this paper out, my father-in-law's income from his site has more than doubled!  This paper provides a lesson in business, advertising, and marketing for the kids.

Click on any of the links to read an issue of the paper.  These are 1 or 2 page PDF files so they may take a minute or two to load up on a phone modem.
