Some of you know I write for News-O-Matic, the daily newspaper for kids.
As of 2016, News-O-Matic has 2 million downloads and over a 120,000 daily active readership. It has won several awards, including the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers’ top prize in the Editorial Category for Young Readers. We cover important national and international current events as well as pertinent stories for today’s kids.
I am honored to contribute to this literacy app. If you have or work with kids in K-8, check it out! Many schools use News-O-Matic to teach nonfiction, and many parents have purchased it for their kids to read at home. (You can download a free trial version here or here.) Because we write for kids, our articles are appropriately worded and focused. Plus, you can pick which lexile (reading level) best fits your needs.
Above is one of my recent articles. It features children’s author Jennifer Swanson and her book Super Gear. You can read all about what microscopic science has to do with the Olympics! (If you’d prefer to read it in a pdf, click here.)
I hope you enjoy it!
