What is Newspaper Fun?

Newspaper Fun is a weekly children's activity page that serves communities across America through quality hometown newspapers. The mission of Newspaper Fun is simple: to encourage kids to read.

• Reading teaches them to think and use their imaginations!
• Reading newspapers, books, magazines and web information teaches them how the world works and how to gain knowledge.
• Reading instructions, recipes, and even video game players' guides teaches them how to apply things they learn to everyday life.
• Reading humorous stories, poems, and comics reinforces the joy of looking at things from a different angle.
• The key to Newspaper Fun is its balancing of entertainment and education to make reading and learning fun.

Newspaper Fun is created each week by Ann Mills, an award-winning writer and illustrator with a master's degree in elementary education. The children’s page is supplemented by Ann’s other creation, ReadingClubFun.com, which encourages kids and adults to launch a wide range of fun reading activities through a variety of ideas and resources.

If you don’t have Newspaper Fun in your town, you may wish to contact the publishers of newspapers who serve your area to see if they’ll consider adding it to their list of weekly features. They can find more information at http://newspaperfun.com.
