Teachers and pupils recommend First News
From reluctant readers to high achievers, we make reading exciting, relevant and fun for all. Our weekly reading activities accompany the newspaper and are a great way for Key Stages 2-3 (P4-S2) to make literacy relevant and exciting in the classroom. They help grow pupils’ knowledge, ideas, opinions and vocabulary of cross-curricular content, whilst developing core reading skills including inference, deduction, summarising and the ability to form reasoned opinions.
- The National Literacy Trust says First News “significantly improves” reading skills
- Teachers say First News transforms attitudes to reading
- “We love First News … It opens a door to the world of knowledge.” Pupils of Howard Junior School

The conversations that I hear kids having after our classes about current affairs are just brilliant.
