You’ll build customer loyalty as parents see their children’s work in print.
Teachers tell us their students cheer when your newspaper with Kid Scoop arrives in the classroom—because Kid Scoop is great fun, too! Free teacher guides accompany the Kid Scoop pages. And by the way, publishers receive letters from teachers, children, and parents describing how they use Kid Scoop with their children at home.
