Where to Find News Articles for Kids

There are thousands of news articles for kids available at DOGO News.

Watch as SimpleK12's Teacher Learning Community Trainer Monica Burns reveals how to keep students informed with DOGO News. There are many features unique to DOGO News which make it a great resource to use with students in the classroom.

Monica quickly points out how each news article at DOGO contains tags for different standards, as well as grade level. The articles also highlight specific vocabulary words so you can prepare students beforehand, or go over new words as you reach them in the text. To help with comprehension, there are built-in questions and a vocabulary list included at the bottom of each text.

One thing not mentioned in Monica's video that I'd like to point out is DOGO's other websites, DOGO Books and DOGO Movies. These sites were created as a safe place for kids to share their opinions about books and movies. Each media selection is moderated and reviewed before becoming part of the site. This ensures that only material appropriate for kids displays.

DOGO Books especially stands out, as this site looks like a great resource to help reluctant readers get excited about their reading material. Students can browse through areas of interest, and read what other kids are saying about their favorite books.
