As a middle school history teacher, I am always trying to find ways to engage my students, prepare them for the real world and help aid in the efforts of English Language Arts and test strategies. The Juice helps get the mental motors running for my students, as their "do now" at the start of class. They are receiving real time news that encourages critical thinking, while providing a global perspective on the world around them. I, as the teacher, get a big win for accessing critical data to share during PLC's, while knowing that I am supporting them in test taking strategies and other content areas. Wins all around!

I love that The Juice is bite-sized information. It means my students can pull through it pretty quickly. I love that you guys do vocabulary every day, because I do it pretty heavily in my classroom, so The Juice’s vocabulary tools tie into some of the stuff I’ve been doing. And it works with some of our basic language stands, such as identifying a word in context, which is why I love the vocabulary-in-context feature!

The Juice has been really useful, especially when talking about current events. I’ve been doing my own kind of current events thing in my classroom where students have to find their own article and then summarize them. It has been nice having The Juice as a supplement for articles or topics that I might not know what’s going on that moment that day, like especially after the incident at the Capitol. The article in The Juice was a very useful tool, because not every kid knew what happened, but we still had to have a conversation about it. I even specifically sent that article to teacher friend to have a conversation with her fifth-grade class. So it has been really useful for that.

It’s important for me to have a partnership with the teachers my child has, now more than ever. In wanting to help keep my 10 year-old challenged with objective current events vs the sensationalized and often slanted views the news offers, I found The Juice to be a home run! The Juice is consistently fair, well-written and appropriate for her learning level. I love that I knew she could read it independently or alongside me and I wouldn’t be worried about overexposure or agendas she would have to learn to shift though and interpret. It was a great source for the small reading group as well! Such a necessary and fun supplement for education!

The Juice has been a wonderful bright spot during this challenging school year. How helpful to have freshly squeezed current events articles that keep students up to date with the news and also cater to their interests. The variety of daily topics and the ability for students to select their own reading level makes the content accessible to all learners.

The Juice is packed with great information to start our daily lessons. The articles are the perfect size to help my students learn about current events - and at the reading level they need. The variety of articles and extras in The Juice generate real-life questions that extend learning beyond the classroom. It’s a great way to start our day!
