Current Events are for Kids, Too!

New Flash Five is a new web site where kids can find age-appropriate updates on current events. Their mission is to “encourage young people to take an interest in news and current events.” You’ll hear and read timely news, framed in a way that children can relate to. Your child can even “become a correspondent” and submit his or her own stories.

For parents/teachers, the site offers a useful News & Current Events Primer as well as three lesson plans: Current Events, Get the Scoop, and Making News. I especially enjoyed the section on “Watching News with a Critical Eye.”
