Why thousands of schools have chosen us
First News Education connects news and learning by delivering weekly reading activities by on exploring the latest stories from First News, the UK’s only newspaper for children from ages 7 to 14. The online learning platforms, Engage and Engage Pro and offline Engage Printables deliver news-based comprehensions, debates and vocabulary puzzles in three differentiated levels for Lower Key Stage 2, Upper Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. These pre-prepared, time-saving activities provide teaching professionals with regular access to invaluable tools to grow their students’ reading, writing and oral skills.
Consuming news in school on a weekly basis creates a community of globally aware, news literate young people, with the knowledge and confidence to voice their opinions and the compassion to listen to and respect others. There has never been a more important time for young people to have access to a reliable source of news stories from our local, national and global communities.
