New Stories Every Day

News-O-Matic publishes new editions every weekday, all year long. Each edition contains five articles with topics that appeal to readers of all interests — including animals, arts, fashion, football, and space science.

Child-Safe

Our original articles are written specifically for children. They are not aggregated news stories for grown-ups. Every text is reviewed by our on-staff child psychologist, Dr. Phyllis Ohr, to ensure the content is appropriate for readers of all ages. News-O-Matic is also FERPA-compliant.

10,000+ Archived Articles

Users can access the full archive of News-O-Matic articles published since 2013. That's more than 10,000 stories, available in three reading levels and  multiple languages. The search bar feature also enables users to search for stories by category and keyword.

Multiple Reading Levels

Every article has multiple reading levels for students of all reading abilities. The text measures range from 400L to 1000L within the Lexile Framework.

Multiple Languages

Every article is translated by native speakers into Spanish, French, and Arabic. A team of global translators also records each story out loud, so students can listen along.

Read-Alouds for Every Article

All articles, in all languages, are read out loud through the "Read to Me" feature. 

Web & Mobile

News-O-Matic is available on all connected devices, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. Users can access our daily stories on the web, iOS, and Android.

Teacher Resources

News-O-Matic helps teachers prepare in advance by sharing a  sneak peek at upcoming news stories. News-O-Matic also offers lesson plans, activity ideas, and other learning resources for teachers to use in conjunction with News-O-Matic content.
