KidzFeed is a free learning site for children aged about 8 to 13, and for the parents and teachers who help them. It answers the questions children really ask, such as how fast an owl can fly or why a polar bear could not live in a desert. The answer comes first, in plain English. The sources are listed on the page.
The site has been running since 2017. It now has about 300 guides on animals, space, history, places, science and festivals.
What you will find in a guide
- A direct answer first. The opening paragraph answers the question in about 50 words. The rest of the guide explains it.
- Quick facts and a knowledge check. A short box of facts near the top, and a couple of questions near the end so readers can test themselves.
- Three things people get wrong. Common myths about the subject, and what the evidence really says.
- Activities. Many guides have quizzes, fact-or-myth games, timelines and maps. They need no sign-in.
- Sources. The museums, universities, government agencies and journals the guide relies on, each with a note on what it supports. We are adding these to older guides as we update them.
Who KidzFeed is for
Children. Guides are written so that a confident nine-year-old can read them alone. Hard words are explained the first time they appear. Big numbers are compared with things a child can picture.
Parents and carers. When a child asks something you cannot answer, a guide gives you a reliable answer and the source behind it.
Teachers. Many guides follow topics taught in primary and lower secondary school, such as the Stone Age and the Iron Age at Key Stage 2. The knowledge checks and activities work well as a lesson starter or a plenary.
Who runs KidzFeed
KidzFeed’s editor is Murad Ali Khan, a researcher and writer who creates fact-checked learning content for young readers. He leads a small team of writers and editors that includes teachers, students and IT graduates.
How we make sure guides are right
Guides are researched from government agencies, universities, museums, national parks and scientific journals. We never use other children’s fact sites or AI chatbot answers as sources.
We use AI writing tools to help research, draft and edit guides. They let a small team bring hundreds of older guides up to date, and they are the reason our checks are strict. The key facts and figures in each guide are checked against the sources listed on the page. Every guide must also pass checks for reading level, sources and links before it is published.
When we get something wrong, we correct it and list the correction publicly. Our editorial policy, sources policy and corrections policy explain how.
How KidzFeed is paid for
KidzFeed is free to read. It is paid for by advertising from Google AdSense. Advertisers do not see our guides before they are published, and they have no say in what the guides say.
In the past, KidzFeed also published some articles that other companies paid for. We no longer accept them. The ones still online carry a “Paid placement” notice, are hidden from search engines and are not part of our learning guides. We do not accept guest posts, paid links or sponsored articles.
