“My grandsons made good use of the magazine and it kept them aware of current events.
I read it a couple of times when visiting and I was impressed by the non-patronising way the news and current affairs are presented. And it encouraged them to put the "screens\2 away and read a real newspaper!!”

“Bought First News for my daughter a few years back and it has become a staple in the household. She looks forward to it arriving every week and we spend the weekend discussing all the new stories. I am so glad she is getting her information from a children-friendly newspaper as opposed to social media or the internet.”

““Getting my daughter excited about reading has been a real challenge, she was brought a gift subscription for First News for Christmas, and it's been a bit of game-changer.. she cant wait for it to arrive every week and look through reading the stories and see whats going on in the world , and she also loves playing Wordie with her friends, they compete every morning.
We also try and find a bit of time to read it together so we can chat about some of the stories that are in the news and whats going on in the world , which i as a parent love the way in which First news cover this news ,it's done in a child friendly way which isn't scary but keeps them informed and have age appropriate pictures. Overall, I’d recommend First News to any parent looking to get their child interested in reading and current affairs. She's 10 now and in year 5, and I believe it's especially valuable as she's expected to have opinions in class and also helps her with her homework and has helped improve her reading level at school .”
Dear Sarah, thank you for leaving us a positive five-star review! Your opinion is extremely valuable to us. We are thrilled to hear how much your daughter is loving her Christmas gift! It's amazing that your daughter's reading levels have improved as a result of reading First News and that we are helping children like your daughter make sense of the world around them and form their own opinions. Thank you for recommending us!
“My 9-year old daughter has been reading First News for just over a year. She loves receiving it every Friday addressed to her and has something to look forward to after school and over the weekend. The paper has a wide variety of topics that are well written and easy to digest. A few friends at school also subscribe and she loves discussing the stories with friends. First News really compliments her love of reading and helps her understand the news in a child-friendly way. Her younger sister, aged 4 has started to take an interest in flipping through the images in the paper, she'll no doubt be an additional subscriber in a few years time! The app version is superb and great for when we are out and about, where my daughter has access to the latest headlines as well as games. Her favourite game is the crossword! Thanks First News!”
Hi Jenny! Thank you for your 5 star review. It's exciting and encouraging to hear how much your daughter is enjoying First News. It's lovely to hear your youngest is also picking up the paper and may also be a future subscriber! Thanks!
“My daughter cannot wait to receive her copy of First News each week. She is curious about the world around her and so is eager to read each issue. As a parent, I love the fact that I can trust First News to provide her with factual information which doesn’t overwhelm or confuse her. I highly recommend First News to any parent looking to provide their child with a reliable source of news.”
Thank you for your review! We are so glad to hear your daughter is enjoying her subscription and always excited to receive her copy each week! Our job in the newspaper is to provide children with factual and accurate news and information so that they can make sense of the world around them and form their own opinions as well. Thank you for your support and putting your trust in First News. Happy reading!
“As a parent, I can't express how delighted I am with my daughter's enthusiasm for First News. It's been six months since she started receiving her own copy, and the joy she gets from receiving post addressed to her hasn't diminished one bit. Knowing that the content she's engaging with is trustworthy and impartial gives me peace of mind. At 11 years old, she's at that stage where she's beginning to form her own opinions, and I can’t help thinking that reading First News really helps. She thoroughly enjoys flipping through the paper, but she also loves playing the word game on the app. If you have a child around my daughter's age, I’d definitely recommend getting them a subscription to First News.”
Hi Emma! Thank you for the wonderful review! We are pleased to hear how much First News is making a positive impact. So glad to know your daughter loves both First News print and First News Digital. We hope your daughter continues to enjoy her subscription and that it helps to spark further discussions with friends at school and family members at home.
“I bought a subscription for my 10 year old nephew last year for his birthday and he absolutely loves it - he's really enjoyed having the digital version too and being able to keep up to date with the daily news on there. And Wordie is a real hit - he's got very competitive over that!! Thank you First News!”
Hi Charlotte, thank you for your 5 star review! We are so glad your nephew is enjoying his First News subscription. Not to sound biased, but Wordie is a firm favourite at the First News HQ too where the team go head to head with the fewest guesses possible!
