Along with standards-aligned Lessons for elementary, Listenwise features three elementary-level Current Events each week: Weird News and Wednesday Quizzes
Weird News podcasts are fun, unexpected, and engaging. Each story has several vocabulary words incorporated into comprehension and discussion questions. Great for a fun and engaging “do now” or “bell ringer” activity. Here’s a list of our Weird News stories. We post these 30-second stories every Thursday.
Kid News is a current event story featuring children as hosts, subjects, or commentators. Stories are published every Tuesday and feature the podcast Newsy Pooloozi.
Additionally, we publish a Wednesday Quiz Current Event, which is appropriate for elementary students and it always includes a multiple-choice, auto-graded quiz! These stories work well for a brief weekly current events lesson or listening skills practice. Here’s a list of our Wednesday quizzes.
