News-2-You

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that News-2-You is the app version of a symbols-based newspaper for kids with special needs. It includes the symbols system and voices used in the augmentative and alternative communication app Proloquo2Go. The app benefits kids who have difficulty reading the written word. Picture symbols and voice help kids hear and see text and visuals. There's a new edition for every week of the typical U.S. school year, and it covers current events topics like popular movies, sporting events, holidays, environmental issues, and more. The app is free but each newspaper edition is a $1.99 in-app purchase; an annual subscription is $54.99. Recent editions include main topics like "World Series," "Hurricane Season," and "M&M's Birthday." In addition to the articles, you can find recipes, jokes, games, puzzles, related comprehension questions, and more.
