Starts At Eight
The Juice has a quiz section in every story of every issue and is written to the reading level you have chosen. These questions challenge kids to remember, understand, apply, analyze, and evaluate.
As We Walk Along the Road
When you subscribe to The Juice, each student that is subscribed will have a Student Portal. In the portal, they can have access to past quiz scores as well as read past articles. As the teacher, you’ll also be able to see which editions your students have opened and read as well as their past quiz scores.
The Curriculum Choice
Here is where I feel this news resource SHINES! Because The Juice simply offers facts of accurate, up-to-date information — our family is then free to critically think about these facts within our own opinions or worldview. We spent LESS time sharing how we may or may not agree with the article’s bias (because there isn’t one) or figuring out what is opinion vs fact. We spent MORE time teasing out ideas, problem-solving or thinking through information presented…exactly how I hoped for our family to interact around the news, especially after this past year’s events.
Different By Design Learning
The Juice provides access to real-life data in interactive custom infographics. This increases visual and numeric literacy. Social Studies: In addition to more obvious study of current events, The Juice also provides historical content and supplemental materials to explain cultural and historical relevance in our current news.
Table Life Blog
Instead of relying on algorithms that cater to our previous engagement, The Juice features unbiased articles that focus on facts and explore multiple viewpoints, but always in an age-appropriate way.
Mary Hanna Wilson
Students can check their comprehension of each story by taking the one-question quiz at the end of each news summary. The quiz questions are also written using leveled reading, making it easy for your child to practice independence.
Mommy Maestra
I also like that every day, The Juice includes at least one inspirational story about a remarkable person who is beating the odds or doing something incredible to leave the world a better place.

Parent of 4th Grade Distance Learner
Keeping my 10 year-old challenged with objective current events, I found The Juice to be a home run! It is consistently fair, well-written and appropriate for her learning level. I love that I knew she could read it independently or alongside me and I wouldn’t be worried about overexposure or agendas she would have to learn to shift though and interpret. It was a great source for the small reading group as well! Such a necessary and fun supplement for education!
Danielle Clark
Middle School History Teacher
As a middle school history teacher, I a try to find ways to engage my students, prepare them for the real world and help aid in ELA efforts and test strategies. The Juice helps get the mental motors running for my students, as their "do now" at the start of class. They receive real time news that encourages critical thinking, while providing a global perspective on the world around them. I win big for accessing critical data to share during PLC's, while knowing that I am supporting them in test taking strategies and other content areas.

The Juice is packed with great information to start our daily lessons. The articles are the perfect to help my students learn about current events - and at the reading level they need. The variety and extras generate real-life questions that extend learning beyond the classroom. It’s a great way to start our day!

7th Grade ELA & Social Studies Teacher
I think your articles are such a good mix of different things that really excite different kids. The headlines draw my kids and I see my them getting excited about reading. That is very difficult to do in those teenage years. I love that with The Juice.
Wendy Evans
Age 12-18 Teacher at Outschool
I love, love, love The Juice. My students really like it. As a teacher, you present really good information. I love how you break down the ages, the grades, because I do multi-age, I have virtual classes and sometimes I'll have younger kids versus older kids. My students love the life hack, the bright side and the extra juice stuff.
John Cleland
High School ELA Teacher
I love that you guys do vocabulary every day. And that it works with some of our basic language standards like identifying a word in context. I love the way The Juice provides a word and the kids have to use it in context. I like the way The Juice encourages my kids to think logically. We also apply the lessons from The Juice to questions about social emotional learning. So we also discuss the impact on people's lives from the situation described in The Juice stories.
Giavanna DiGiacomo
6th Grade Social Studies Teacher
The Juice has been really useful, especially to help me talk about current events. We all like that the articles are short. I like that it brings the information down to their reading and grade level so that my 5th and 6th graders can understand what's going on. I, too, feel more informed and that helps me have better conversations with my students because I have some students who are really excited about the news. They love to talk about what's going on. So it helps me be able to converse with them.

We will definitely continue using The Juice for homeschooling to cover current events learning and critical thinking discussion. It has been an easy addition to our daily studies without adding any extra homeschool parent prep work from me. And, for the price, it’s a great online homeschooling program!
