News-O-Matic

News-O-Matic is a fantastic new free iOS app that I just found out about through a promotional email.  This is an app designed for kids 7-11 yrs old to bring them 5 daily news stories containing articles, videos, and photos.  These stories are on a number of different subjects such as: sports, science, world news, and more.  Also, these stories are aligned to 3rd/4th grade Common Core Standards, has a variety of fun activities for students to complete, as well as full audio support for challenged readers.  Best of all, there is a free daily teacher guide which helps educators assess students learning and comprehension of the articles.

I highly recommend checking out News-O-Matic by clicking here!!!
