Providing access to youth-friendly news content, building critical thinking skills, and offering young minds authentic reasons to write are three things that we obsess about here at Xyza. That’s why we offer relatable news stories focused on a variety of topics, ask open-ended questions, and offer news engagement opportunities such as our Junior Reporter program, news workshops, poll questions, trivia, and more. Xyza’s online and in print, making it a natural addition to any classroom or library. Learn more about what makes Xyza: News for Kids unique by scrolling down.
What Makes Xyza Unique?
Open-Ended Questions
At Xyza, we love a good debate because it makes us really think about why we’re arguing for or against something. That’s why Xyza news stories often start or end with an open-ended question. Join our mailing list to receive conversation starters for schools and libraries.
Trivia
In every print issue of Xyza, young readers are further connected to news stories through interesting trivia questions about the topic being covered.
Junior Reporter Program
Whether it’s interviewing young scientists, asking questions of the Golden State Warriors, or sharing perspectives on the FIFA Women’s World Cup win, our monthly calls to action offer young readers an authentic reason to write, as well as, a way to share their thoughts about what’s happening in the world.
Interesting Facts
Context is key to understanding news stories. That’s why Xyza’s news stories include context, background, and often interesting facts that enlighten readers about fascinating topics.

We want news to be a two-way street. That means Xyza’s young readers don’t just read the news, they get to participate in the reporting of the news too! Our free Junior Reporter program is a way for young readers to share their perspectives and to report on things that matter to them. Junior Reporters also receive reporting opportunities through our monthly calls to action.

Xyza’s news workshops are conducted in schools and libraries and are intended to help young learners connect with the news. Topics range from how a newspaper is made to the impact of news. Our news workshops are currently only offered in the San Francisco Bay Area.
