Why schools choose The Day

Articles are written in three differentiated reading levels so every learner can access, progress and stretch their reading. Schools report stronger comprehension, richer vocabulary and a renewed enjoyment of reading.

Students engage most when stories connect to what’s happening around them. The Day makes reading feel meaningful by showing that words shape the world they live in.

By linking reading to current issues and teenage trends, students see immediate relevance. Many schools tell us The Day is the first thing their teenagers choose to read.

Definitely. The Day’s articles model strong journalistic and analytical writing styles, while discussion prompts and reflection tasks build argumentation and vocabulary.
