Newspapers

Train up your young reporters in journalistic writing with these teaching resources and newspaper reading comprehensions based on analysing and writing newspaper articles. 

These worksheets and PowerPoints will help children to identify the features of a newspaper report - including grammar features such as using the past tense, direct speech and speech marks -  looking at example texts to identify bias and compare broadsheet and tabloid newspaper writing styles. And our newspaper templates will help children to develop their writing skills to write their own newspaper headlines and news reports.
