First News is a flexible classroom resource that can be used in different ways depending on your school context. Why not dedicate one KS3 English lesson a week for news and developing core non-fiction reading skills? Pupils can then read the newspaper (many secondary schools use the digital version of First News) and develop comprehension skills with First News Engage comprehension and debating activities. Engage weekly polls give engaging content for form-time discussions. The Level One and Level Two news activities are ideal for supporting pupils with SEN and EAL.
