My students love reading the news!!!
Great app!! We love reading the news each day, as the students enjoy the sports coverage and the special features. A great way to learn!!!
Shows kids the world!
Wonderful app that provides age-appropriate content to make our kids global citizens.
NEWS-O-MATIC IS THE BEST APP EVER
News-O-Matic is a great app!! I’ve became so smart because of this app. Kids are learning so much faster! On this app you can draw, do puzzles, read, and more. I would recommend using this app. 😛
So disappointing
I was looking for exactly this kind of app for my second graders. I thought there was a free version, but no such luck. It wouldn’t let me create an account. No one in a Title 1 school can afford the price.
This app is great for everyone
I have a 7 and 9 year old son and daughter. They both always come back from school and ask for my phone to see the news o matic stories. They have been so interested in current events and they are so much more excited to learn. I love how they focus on exploring cool topics not just political news. They talk about space, how to keep a healthy environment and they also cover political news in a kid friendly way!!! They have made my kids like reading cool articles instead of playing video games. They let my kids draw on the app and they can even ask questions to Russ the editor. This app has made my kids love learning I can’t thank them enough.

Principal Concern
This is a great app. If it were offered to educators at a less expensive rate than current many of our teachers would purchase it. This is a great app.
Poor kids are locked out. How can you get this to us in schools for less
The current class subscription is expensive for those of us with low income kids... and that’s a lot of us.
Please help. We choose you get Scholastic. Be better.

Not fee friendly
This was a super app to use with multiple grade levels when it was free. Kids & families in poor districts do not have the luxury of owning an iPad much less exposure to current news.
Great app!
I can't believe that I had never heard of this app before! I am an educator - and there is no other nonfiction reading that engages kids like this. My third graders are begging every day to read the latest articles! Even in a time where the news can be tough to explain to young ones, I know I can always trust News o matic for balanced writing. This will be a part of my curriculum for years to come!

Stellar resource for literacy
I don't think there is another tool that gets students to love nonfiction quite like News-O-Matic. Kids literally beg to read it!
Good luck finding another resource that engages reluctant readers like this!
