  2. Answer four questions about the article.
  3. Save a “Did you know?” card to My Stuff at the end.

For grown-ups

Good to know

  • New issues are already inside the app and open by date, so nothing is downloaded.
  • Older issues stay readable, and there is no countdown to the next one.
  • Your child’s choice of Easier or Standard is remembered.
  • The home screen shows Kid Gazette to children aged 8 to 10. You can turn it on for any child in the Parent Zone.
  • The game saves itself, so your child can stop at any time and pick up where they left off.
