While we believe Kiwi Kids News is suitable for all ages we aim our articles and resources at students aged from 10-14. Our news articles are easy to read and are about 8-10 sentences long.
When you sign up every teacher and student in your school can use the site as much as they like. Each teacher in your school is given a password to access our Teacher Download section while students are given login details to access the main website.
To sign up click on this page and fill in your details. We will then send out an invoice and email you your user details.
Once you have signed up you will receive an email with your invoice. This can be paid by either bank transfer or cheque.
Once you have signed up you will be emailed all the resources you need to begin. We send out an email every Thursday night with key information and we encourage as many teachers in your school to sign up to this.
The website started in 2010 and has been growing in popularity ever since.
