us!CT is the most important link between the real world and academics. I am seeing my daughter becoming knowledgeable about a lot of things. News is no longer boring.
Textbooks may make you fit to pass an exam. But what will prepare you for life can be found outside your textbooks only. So include life skills, social consciousness, empathy for fellow human beings, care and concern for the environment and the world we live in in our daily reading.
Students are reading it as a part of their zero period classroom activity. They are always eager to discuss and share their views. Curious Times acts as a platform for our young readers to discuss their view points and share their opinions pertaining to their area of interest.
I have been teaching for over 20 years in Army schools across India. As academicians, we always want to up-the-ante of our students with knowledge of what’s happening around us and not just what is in textbooks. I believe concepts need to be presented in a practical connotation.
Curious Times is a great initiative – not just useful to students, but also helps us teachers to stay aligned on the most important topics that children of different ages would need to know. The content here is matter-of-fact and most importantly curriculum-synced, making it relevant to the child.
Veer and I read the articles together. They are written in simple, easy to understand English. The point wise writing helps kids retain what they’re reading. The little quiz at the end ensures they’ve paid attention too. I, personally, like the name curioustimes, and how it is ‘non sensational’. Now, as a parent I trust CT
A children’s news website and a newspaper for kids, Curious Times aims to give young ones a daily dose of the current affairs. The Social media and news websites satiate the curiosity of adults, but what about news for children and young readers? There is breaking news every day, layered with generous sensationalism that makes way into our living rooms and bedrooms. But such news is more sensational and not curated to the needs of first time readers of the 21st century. Children news is the need of the hour, more now than ever, because children are curious and are constantly bombarded with a lot of information, which is biased and sensational. How much of it is adding value to their little vulnerable minds is the question we ask? Curious Times, a news website for children and a newspaper for kids, is carefully created to give children news in simple language. Students’ educational site, it not just helps to raise their curiosity, awareness and vocabulary, it also allows them to share their views and provides them a safe and trusted platform to get their creative work published. It aims to be the wind that guides the children of today into responsible and holistic adults of tomorrow.
