Newspaper PLUS Hollister Kids’ weekly current-events feature “Newspaper PLUS” has always been on top of the news. It also has won recognition as one of the Best Youth Columns in the country. In the 2000 Distinguished Achievement Competition of the Association of Educational Publishers (EdPress), “Newspaper PLUS” was honored as a finalist for Best Youth Column. The other finalists were: The New York Times, The New York Times and The New York Times! Written by a former daily journalist, “PLUS” picks the major news of each week and comes at it from a kid’s perspective. Discussion activities encourage students to relate the news to their own lives, and newspaper activities tie current events to the lessons of history. more information Summer Plus Now in its sixth summer, “Summer Plus” is written “live” through the summer months. This timely, energetic feature reaches, teaches and entertains young readers and their families with a new topic every week. It focuses on subjects kids talk about on summer vacation, from movies and sports, to food, recreation and unusual events. Activities each week provide “conversation starters” for young readers and their families and lead students into the daily newspaper to learn more.
