# # # Exciting Product from The News Foundation # # # The Reading Passport The Reading Passport continues to win new converts with 500 students taking part in a recent project in Hertfordshire. A firm favourite in schools, and used in more than twenty four countries, the Reading Passport has recently been improved, enlarged and updated but remains true to its original goals of increasing awareness and understanding of news among the young. Now, you can discover the benefits of using news in your classroom with this exciting, easy-to-operate, adaptable and economical project developed by The NEWS Foundation in partnership with CMC International. This personalised and pocket-sized booklet is hugely attractive to young readers and contains fifteen fun assignments suitable for students in KS2/3 that will have them accessing news from a range of different sources – newspapers, television, internet, radio etc. Watch your students become class experts on the PEOPLE, PLACES and EVENTS that influence our world – locally, nationally and internationally. For as little as £1.20 per student incl p & p (minimum order of 10 copies of The Reading Passport), you can keep your students news-aware for up to eight weeks! A class pack, containing 30 copies of the Reading Passport and an extensive teacher support pack is also available for just £40.00 incl p&p.
