At the beginning of the school year, my class focused on news stories. For homework, I often asked students to select and bring in an article they liked. The idea was to use the articles to find information, identify the elements of a news story, and practice summarizing.
The problem was that my students, who are in grades two to six, could rarely find articles geared to their age or reading level. Fortunately, there are some children's Web sites with content that children both comprehend and find interesting. I've compiled a list of my favorites below. I'd love to hear of any other good ones.
Time Magazine for Kids
National Geographic for Kids
Scholastic News
Sports Illustrated for Kids
Weekly Reader
PBS News Hour
National Wildlife Federation
