"Our daily current events conversation, spirited along by the Juice News resources, brought our classes together around a common conversation point. They brought ideas and people into our lives that would not have otherwise been accessible. Thank you to the Juice staff for their work in support of our students and their literacy learning."

Jesus Nunez

“I used The Juice as a warm up and I liked that it provided students with a reliable source of information and a variety of articles they could select from. I also liked the length of the articles and that I could differentiate the reading levels within the platform.”
Genna Weisenberg
Birmingham Community Charter School, Van Nuys, CA
“The student buy-in with The Juice was definitely a huge factor as to why they did so well on teh assessment test. Students were reading something they were actually interested in while still practicing skills like finding the main idea or inferencing.”

Students
“I really liked the topics they had for us to read. I love how I can relate to the stories too. For example, I come from Arab origin and I really enjoy when they talked about my religion or the Middle East which made me really happy. I also like how the articles aren't too long or too short.”

“I liked how I was able to not just read about the daily news. I was also able to read past news and the juice gives me new stories each day. It's not all about vocabulary and comprehension. It's about reading and getting to learn about the daily news.”
