Additionally, for the past several years the Cincinnati Bell Yellow Pages has offered a free educational curriculum designed to help students utilize the information in the yellow pages and help teach lifestyle skills which will prepare the for the challenges of everyday living.
The program, developed primarily for the 4th through 6th grade students, uses an interdisciplinary approach to reinforce basic skills and present a variety of critical thinking activities. Utilizing reference material in the Cincinnati Bell Yellow Pages, students learn to: locate information, utilize basic math skills, read maps, alphabetize, use zip codes, and become familiar with their community. Over seventy-five schools throughout the tri-state participate annually - for more information on how to receive this free program for your school, cal 397-6794.
