Two New Ways To Read The News

Posted at 9:27 pm under reading, social studies

I’m adding two new tools to The Best Visually Engaging News Sites.

One is the USA Today News Deck.

The other is The New York Times Skimmer.

The USA Today application lets you see headlines only, while the Times tool lets you see headlines, the first line, and some photos.

I don’t think either are as accessible to English Language Learners as the sites on The Best news/current events websites for English Language Learners , but they are worth a look.

Thanks to TechCrunch for the tip.
