Community reviews for News-O-Matic

Reading about current events comes to life with this interactive app! Students can choose to read articles about events that are taking place in their world. Reading levels for different grade levels can be set for students. The colorful pictures, catchy article titles, and interactive nature of the app make it possible for students to stay up-to-date and become better global citizens.

I would like more questions to go with each article.

Current events in an engaging, interactive format! Teachers can project the articles for whole class debate and discussion or provide access to devices for student selection. We use the free version and it is working great!

News-o-Matic is just right for the elementary classroom. The stories are updated daily and include an array of different topics. They are just long enough to provide a reasonable amount of information without overwhelming the student. Kids enjoy the accompanying videos which really bring the topics to life.

I have been using this tool for 5 months and have been very impressed with their consistently engaging stories, geared for kids ages 7-10. They write about a wide range of topics, drawing kids in with funny stories as well as providing age-appropriate information about tragedies home and abroad.
