News, Book Reviews, and More for Kids

I've heard numerous teachers extol the value of using the DoGo website with students. Here students can find current events to read about and then have writing projects in their class based on what they read. They can also read book reviews written by kids, and better yet contribute their own reviews to the site. Check out the book review section. Click on the image below.

Explore this part of the site to see the reviews students have written. After you have explored around, then check the Dogo News for Kids section, by clicking on the link image below. Notice news is listed in categories. Also, notice the tabs: Teachers and Kids.




After browsing around the site, let us know if you would recommend this site to teachers or if you would consider using with your students?

    Thanks for sharing this site, Judy. I think that it will tie in perfectly to our persuasive writing unit. During this unit I have the students review different topics, including books. Showing the students the reviews on this site would work perfectly to provide varied examples of what book reviews are.
