“Don’t Forget to Vote” campaign entices young learners

Sep 18, 2024

Children under the age of 18 can participate in this election season with Kid Scoop’s “Don’t Forget to Vote” campaign projects. Young readers will explore good leadership qualities and discover the difference between facts and opinions. Take a look at these fun ways to learn about democracy.

These puzzles may look like just plain fun, but they have a serious learning purpose. In small print you’ll find the “Standards Links”—these are important skills children can practice at home with your newspaper. In fact, the two activities at the bottom (right and left) direct children to “look through the newspaper”—so young readers discover professional journalism. Teachers often use the Kid Scoop pages to supplement classroom lessons.

Your local Chamber of Commerce and other service organizations, plus nonprofit units and local foundations are ideal sponsors for this important page on elections. Kid Scoop offers multiple pages that involve youngsters in the elections process. The series includes pages on geography, history, and biographies of leaders so children, and adults, can learn more about the United States all year long.

Prepare our youth to be informed voters. Include Kid Scoop in your newspaper each week. You’ll be amazed at how many adults also love Kid Scoop. If your newspaper circulation area includes newcomers who work in local industries, Kid Scoop gives these new arrivals easy to understand information about democracy and civic leadership. Kid Scoop serves whole families.
