The Digital Scoop

Go Go News

Go Go News is a wonderful kid friend news site I learned about on Free Technology for Teachers.

Go Go News contains news stories that will interest elementary readers.  For instance, the headline story today is about a new breed of cat.

Go Go News was born out of a desire to inform children of the world around them in an educational and non-threatening way.

Go Go News would be an excellent resource for:

• Daily non-fiction reading practice.
• Good examples of how to write a news story.
• Good text for creating non-fiction comprehension questions.
• Bringing kid-friendly current events into the classroom.

News for You contains simple current even news articles for students.  The articles are pdf files which can be read on the screen or printed.  They would make great non-fiction reading practice.  I could see students / teachers developing comprehension questions to go with them.
