The Kid Scoop Weekly Page

A key circulation-builder for newspapers in 42 states

Each week, Kid Scoop brings children at home and in school fun-filled, educationally sound youth content. Every week children, teens, and parents explore a different topic—current events (such as a pandemic or one part of the body, clearly explained) or geography, history, or a science topic. Even teens with reading challenges and adults learning English find the Kid Scoop page accessible and enjoyable. Games, word searches, puzzles and mind-teasers are all tied to the weekly topic. Our award-winning content provides delightful literacy activities for the whole family.

Your newspaper can make a strong connection to schools, homes, and your community with Kid Scoop.
