Because newspapers aren't old-fashioned...


 
FirstNews is a weekly newspaper. Every week, the specialist First News journalists provide up-to-date, insightful and dynamic articles on a range of subjects from politics to popular culture, from science to citizenship, which are relevant and accessible to an audience spanning 7-14 years old.  First News has been published weekly for almost four years and is found on the news stand in supermarkets and newsagents along with all the ‘adult’ broadsheets and tabloids.
It is a fantastic teaching resource. Even the most reluctant reader eagerly picks up the paper to find out what is going on in their world.  Whether it’s news, sport or green issues, something will spark their interest, and as a teacher you can safely put the newspaper down on their desk knowing the well written text and photographs are aimed at readers in KS2 & 3. It’s very much a worthwhile but fun resource.
