Sometimes the news can be difficult to explain to children – and that’s where The Week Junior can help. It reports the facts objectively, it never patronises, and is written in an engaging and age-appropriate way that helps children to understand, and not feel alarmed or scared.
It helps parents to navigate big, complex issues, such as race, politics, and climate change clearly and calmly, helping to dispel anxiety and confusion with clear, child-friendly facts and a balanced perspective.

Essential skills for educational success
Cultural Capital
‘Cultural capital’, defined by Ofsted as “the essential knowledge that children need to be educated citizens”, is needed for children to succeed at a wide range of studies by the time they reach GCSE level. The Week Junior provides a solid, well-researched and broad offering of cultural capital, ensuring its readers – with the help of their parents – are in the best possible position to become well-educated citizens of the world.
Reading and Literacy
Even reluctant readers will enjoy The Week Junior’s digestible, engaging articles and will find themselves reading the whole magazine in a fraction of time they would finish a book; a great confidence boost whilst improving language and communication skills. Using the articles as a start point for discussions and debates at home is also an excellent way of improving children’s oracy – essential for personal and academic expression.
Skills for Learning
Being able to read and understand non-fiction texts is an essential skill for learners, one that will be relied upon throughout their education. Quality children’s journalism, such as The Week Junior, provides young people with an excellent point of reference when asked to write essays, newspaper articles, leaflets, and instructions – all of which will be expected at some stage of their education.
Curriculum-Linked Content
The Week Junior includes a wide range of topics and features that link to the curriculum, including world geography, STEM, sport, creative industries, climate change, politics and democracy, literature, equality, history, as well as wellbeing support. Children will find something useful, interesting, and inspiring in The Week Junior for almost every homework project imaginable.
