"Copycatcher is a brilliant learning resource compiled by people whose years of experience in journalism and teaching shine brightly through. It will prove to be invaluable for teachers in secondary education in the years to come."

"Young people see the screen as a friend. Rather than just picking up the news, Copycatcher helps young people to get hold of the news."

"Copycatcher is good for anyone struggling with literacy skills: it has a positive impact."

"As a drama teacher I have always tried to engage students and develop ownership of their work by encouraging them to research their own stimulus on the school internet system. Frequently, sites are blocked by the LEA and the access they have to current topical issues is limited. Copycatcher is a fantastic resource that is accessible for all students, coded for year groups which allows the school to guide students rather than the LEA. Simple, well presented resources that engage students and promote ownership. A simple solution to the research problems I had faced!

"The articles are up-to-date, relevant and engage all abilities and ages. I have used the articles with pupils in year 7 and year 12 in English lessons, Form Time and General Studies. It is rare to get such a diverse resource which responds to the issues relevant to the students.

Whether you have 2 minutes, 10 minutes or an hour, Copycatcher is a resource for all occasions. I use it in registration and the pupils are desperate to get full marks in the Daily Quiz. A great start to any teaching day! "
