Schools get world news in kids’ lingo

Primary school pupils at around 250 schools in South Africa are reading hot-off-the-press world news in their own newspaper sent to them via e-mail. The Times I Am Living In publishes wire-service stories side-by-side with rewritten versions that children can more easily understand. A glossary and quiz questions keep them engaged with both versions of the text. Learn more at the Mail & Guardian Online website (South Africa).
