About
Kidsnews.com.au is a ready-to go literacy resource for teachers using current daily news stories for students in the classroom.
The content is written into educational stories in child appropriate language and filtered/censored to remove any inappropriate content or imagery. The site does not link to any outside news sources or sites, therefore pupils can use it safely in an unsupervised environment or for independent learning.
Kids News is suitable for children from Grade 3 to Year 8, although teachers tell us it is being used with some students above and below this range.
