Build revenue and literacy: Ask parents to give teens your newspaper

Posted

Today’s teenagers are future leaders in your community. How many are reading your newspaper to learn about local government and elections? A subscription to your newspaper is a powerful gift for teens studying civics and preparing capstone projects in all subjects. Kid Scoop offers you complimentary Teen Subscription Gift house ads to encourage parents to give a gift subscription to your newspaper to their teenagers. Download these ads for use now and in the future. Expand your circulation marketing with this concept.

While the Kid Scoop weekly page is designed for children ages 7-12, teens often find the Kid Scoop reading and math puzzles fun. Teens can help their younger siblings and cousins with the Kid Scoop page, too. Here’s a seasonal Kid Scoop page about reading newspapers to get them started — show this to teens and youngsters you know.

The Kid Scoop weekly page is designed to connect families to all aspects of your community: schools, retail businesses, arts, parks, museums, service organizations, local government, local recreation and more. Our experience has been that the local newspaper is very popular with teens in alternative high school programs as well. Your newspaper is about real happenings, including sports. Your newspaper is livelier than a textbook. Your newspaper reveals new opportunities for teens by reporting places they may be isolated from.

Adding Kid Scoop to your newspaper also connects different ages within families. Kid Scoop fans write us about how grandparents and grandchildren love to work the Kid Scoop reading and math puzzles and games together. These activities are actually solid educational experiences disguised as fun. (Check out the Standards Links in small type on each Kid Scoop page to understand which required skills each activity teaches.)

Kid Scoop is also very popular in immigrant communities, as it’s easy to read and introduces newcomers to the history and geography of America in small bites.
