1. Make friends with a real reporter! Real reporters are awesome. They wear brightly colored coats and know lots about the news. Sometimes they will even show you their real microphones and cameras if you ask nicely. Maybe your teacher can invite a reporter to school for career day!

2. Turn toys into tools! You never know when a bag of wooden blocks, a baby-doll stroller, or even a silly makeup mirror can help you crack a case or break a news story. Be creative!

3. Your brain has magic! Sometimes it might feel like other people’s brains work better than yours. It’s not true! All brains are like magic. You just have to think hard, and the ideas will pop right out!

4. Have all kinds of friends! When your friends like different kinds of things, you’ll never be bored! And you’ll always have cool news stories. That’s because everyone will think of something unique!
