I work in VI but also have a completely blind daughter. I brought home the kit you kindly gave her and OMG (her words) she absolutely loved them. She devoured all 3 issues in a weekend. I just wanted to say on a personal note that this is an amazing product. I have never seen my daughter get so much joy for just being able to experience something a lot of us take for granted – being able to access a magazine. I have been sharing the magazine with colleagues, friends and families and have a meeting at the local library to share it with them. I will be ordering the subscription for our daughter as she is super excited to follow the gang on their adventures.

Thanks, Stephen. The Fact Factory is a much-welcomed resource in our school – the pupils’ reactions and interest say it all for me. Congratulations on producing this wonderful resource for kids in consultation with DAI. I’ll post a recommendation on our Instagram. We will be creating our own teaching resources for the topics and are happy to share with other schools as well..

I am delighted to tell you that after talking to my principal and going through the amazing magazine you sent me, she would love to purchase the pack. The magazines are done beautifully and so interesting to explore! Our kids will benefit tremendously..

My children loved the kids’ voices and the large images are great too. Given that the magazine is trying to suit dyslexia and many different types of VI (all of which have their own preferences) The Fact Factory is remarkable. Well done!.

The Fact Factory magazines are going down a treat and are working great with my dyslexia group. I send home the magazine with the pen with one child each night and they have to do 3 recordings. Im hoping with the extra pens, theyll be able to do it every night for homework..

Our school has benefited from the full range of News Mag Media publications over the years. We have been fans of The Primary Planet and News Flash for many years now. From early days when we were new customers we have found the magazines to be engaging and our pupils could not wait for them to arrive. The support material that is available is second to none and all of our teachers report hugely positive outcomes from utilising the magazines for literacy activities in class. We have been lucky enough that many of our pupils have had the opportunity to have their work published in The Primary Planet and in News Flash and this has led to fantastic boosts in self-esteem and self-confidence for those pupils and indeed their peers.In the past school year, we have purchased The Fact Factory magazine and associated pen for use for pupils and have found.

I would highly recommend News Flash and The Primary Planet magazines for children in Primary Schools. The are really good value, the children love them and are always delighted when they arrive, the quality of the magazines are excellent, very colourful with great photographs. The articles are very interesting and are really up to date. They contain a nice mixture of very relevant information and some really interesting stories about weird and wonderful things. They were recommended to me by another school a number of years ago and we have been getting them since..

Packed with vibrant illustrations and engaging stories, it's the perfect companion to encourage children to read. The teacher notes are excellent along with the accompanying worksheets.

The Primary Planet is a hands-on magazine suitable for 8-12-year olds. I have been using it with a selection of classes for the last few years and it has become an extremely valuable resource. The children in my class eagerly await its arrival each month and on occasion, I have to prise it from children during lessons as they enthusiastically read it from cover to cover! Each issue comes with a teacher planning guide and online resources and handouts, helping to inform planning and links content to those important strands and strand units and curriculum objectives .The magazine brings reading to life for children as they are reading for a purpose and enjoying it. It caters for a wide range of interest levels. On top of all that, the magazine is fantastic value for money for such a valuable resource..

Our fifth and sixth class pupils and teachers have been using The Primary Planet for the last four years. Quite simply, it is brilliant, and our students and teachers love it. It is tailored exactly to what senior Primary pupils will buy into, as its glossy and colourful, deals with current issues and has lots of relevant information about entertainment, sport and celebrities. From a teachers point of view, there is a lot of curriculum content which is presented in a simple child friendly yet educational way. Finally, the participation in the competitions and the chance to see their work published really excites our pupils and ensures a great effort from them. Our school is very happy to recommend The Primary Planet as an excellent resource in our senior classes..

More testimonials on our suite of publications

We have been getting The Primary Planet newspaper in our school for four years now. The children in my multi-grade class of 4th, 5th and 6th absolutely love the arrival of The Primary Planet every month. There is something in it to interest everyone … including the teacher! We have used it for silent reading, reading aloud, reading at home and as supplementary material for our curriculum work.

We have been getting the Primary Planet here in Moyne NS for the past few years. It is hugely popular with teachers, pupils and parents alike. It is incredibly good value and is a very high-quality publication. The children really look forward to the arrival of the magazines each month and it's always full of interesting and very topical articles. Parents have often commented that they find it equally interesting and informative. It literally covers every topic from sport, movies, music, politics, farming, Gaeilge, fashion, book and movie reviews etc. It is really well written and has encouraged even the most reluctant readers in our school to read on a regular basis.
