The fourth site I chose to review for my ILA Newsletter is Dogo News, https://www.dogonews.com/. This is a wonderful site that focuses on giving kids and students current events and news in a friendly format.
This website is completely free and requires no
premium fees or subscription fees at all. The very first strength of this site
I noticed is how simple it is to navigate around. The website makes it very
easy and even kid-friendly to use and access its many functions and resources.
It also does a great job of having many different tabs and content areas, while
also making sure to stay streamlined and organized.
The amount of different current events on this site is
sizeable so the filters and tabs they provide works very well when one wants to
find a specific content area. There are multiple filters including sorting by
content (Science, Social Studies, Civics, World Environment, Fun, Sports), word
count, and type (video, articles, books).
Now reviewing this site
specifically on being related to reading content. I believe this site will be a
great resource for providing reading activities, projects, and lessons. The first reason is because students will be
able to strengthen their reading ability by perusing through the current event
articles on the site. This is great because not only are students receiving
reading practice, they are also receiving socials studies and science content
as well.
Another reason that this site would be great for
reading content is because Dogo News has a section called Dogo Books. Dogo
Books is basically a section where other young adults and kids give reviews on
popular books. Each popular book review also has a link to where one could find
the specific book to purchase or view. This section is also very well organized
by using filters like genres, reading levels, and series. There is even a book
club, quizzes on the books, and freebies.
