Newsademic is a newspaper for young readers and anyone studying English as a foreign language. Its aim is to educate and inform them about current events and international news stories. There are two different editions. One uses British English the other American English. The news stories in each are the same. The differences are in the writing style, punctuation and spelling. The newspaper is distributed as a PDF file by e-mail every fortnight. The PDF file can be read on screen but has been designed to be printed out and read as a paper news copy. Each subscriber also has access to an on line version. This appears in HTML and you can read it on screen. Key words can be searched for and more difficult words have mouse over explanations. An alphabetical glossary also gives examples of the context in which the words are used. Newsademic is carefully written and edited for young people and English language students. Families involved in home education find Newsademic useful. So do schools. It does not carry advertising. Neither does it feature news articles about television, sporting events, computer games, pop music or celebrity culture. The focus is on fortnightly international current events for kids which shape and affect the world that we live in today. Newsademic has no political, religious or ideological bias. Stories are reported factually and we make every attempt to feature both sides of any situation in which opinions differ. Countries featured in the various children's news reports are highlighted on a world map. Two educational prize competitions are included in each issue. One doubles as a glossary and the other is a sudoku puzzle. There is always at least one review of a worthwhile new book, film, DVD or CD. Each issue of Newsademic has an accompanying set of Classroom Activities which are an optional extra. The Classroom Activities have been designed for use in schools but many parents find them useful at home too. You can buy gift subscriptions to Newsademic on behalf of family members, friends, relatives and schools. Readers are welcome to submit guest articles for possible inclusion in the next issue.
