Comments from parents
I love Daily7 and Daily10. I know they're supposed to be for children, but they are WAY more appealing than the grown-up newspapers I have to read every day!
Nury Vittachi, award-winning journalist, newspaper columnist and children’s author
My daughter is one of your readers. Her favourite part is the word puzzles, cartoons and games on the back page. For me, I particularly like the way that you choose the theme of each issue. I think it can help primary students to open their eyes and have some initial understanding of other parts of the world.
Anthea Cheng, Hong Kong
Thank you putting together this great children's newspaper. My son Aaron's teacher introduced it to us; since then it has become an important part of Aaron’s life.

I am writing to send my big thanks to you and your team for the great work of Daily7. Our daughter Allie enjoys reading Daily7 very much, and is inspired by this great and interesting paper. Allie is 5 years old now and she goes to upper class at a local English kindergarten. We're so glad about her progress in reading and writing. Daily7 is definitely a good companion in nurturing kids' interest in English. It's informative and engaging.
Mrs Ng, Hong Kong
Both my children fight to open the Daily10. They love the bright pictures, the games and especially the jokes. I like that it is a great introduction to current affairs for them. I have started collecting issues to use later for class projects and for holidays. Last year’s section about Greece and the Olympics travelled all the way to Olympia!
Sarah Wyatt, Lamma Island, Hong Kong
I find the Daily10 very interesting and informative. It is truly an unique newspaper for children to gain additional knowledge that they may not be able to get it from school. My girl enjoys reading it very much and I would recommend this paper to all the primary students.
Peggy Chan, Hong Kong
My daughter loves reading Daily7 and every day, she keeps chasing us to answer the "joke of the day" and shares with us a lot of news, games and activities from the paper. Thanks a lot for your team's great work! Triggered by Daily7, she has developed not only a good reading habit but also started to write something like short stories, comments, diaries... It's amazing and we're very glad to see she has such a strong interest in English.
Parent, Hong Kong
Every day we so look forward to opening the letterbox to see the Daily7 paper in it. Thank you for all your effort of publishing such a wonderful reading piece for the kids.
Ellen, Hong Kong
Reading your newspaper has enriched and widened Zoe's reading experience in many ways! I'd like to say thank you for all the hard work and effort you and your team have put in.
Sara Chapman, Hong Kong
My 9- and 10- year old daughters enjoy their Daily10 very much. It's a great way to get them to read some non-fiction and introduce them to local news as well as from around the world in an age-appropriate and fun way.
Yvonne Becher, Child Psychologist, Hong Kong
My girl loves to do homework, but she has no formal English homework given from her school. We communicate in Cantonese and during daytime she is taken care by grandma (Cantonese speaking all the day). My Little Paper is a good tool to guide me teaching my girl. It is because it is weekly homework, we spend the weekends to finish the worksheets. It is progressive. It uses life photos and topics. It is easy for her to adopt the topics and learn new words. Last but not least, it gives us a chance to communicate with English sentence, not just simple, single word. She is getting used to listen and understand the meaning.
Elsina Ho, Cheung Chau, Hong Kong
My 6-year-old daughter loves your newspaper and looks forward to reading it every day. Her 4-year-old brother also loves the Daily7.
Theresa Nguyen Jeong, Hong Kong
I just want to let you know what a great publication Daily10 is, and how much my son enjoys reading it. The first thing he does when he comes home from school is to read "his newspaper". In fact we have saved the copies all these years which we then give to local children from disadvantaged backgrounds. I think my son learns most, if not all of his jokes from Daily10. Seriously though, it is a wonderful and informative paper for children. It is also interesting for parents to see how news is reported to children. Great job altogether.
Sabrina Ho, Hong Kong
My daughter really enjoys the opportunity to keep up with the news every day. She particularly loves the Good News Bad News section of the Daily 7.
Vivien Jones, Managing Editor, Playtimes Magazine, Hong Kong
We all enjoy the age appropriate length/level of English comprehension of Daily7 and Daily10. I am impressed with the dictionary as it promotes self-learning.
Parent, Hong Kong
I am satisfied with the content of My Little paper. Very Good!!!
Tsui Lok-mui, New Territories, Hong Kong
Daily7 and Daily10 provide a breadth of information that adds to what is learnt at school. It is factual, fun and informative but most importantly, it is in a format suitable for children to read.
Parent, Hong Kong
I like the science content of the main stories, and the Q&A which makes it interactive and fun. I would rather pay more for a subscription than to see a paper stuffed full of advertising.
Parent, Hong Kong
My child enjoys reading My Little Paper very much.
Penelope Poon, Tai Po
We all enjoy the age appropriate length/level of English word and comprehension. I am impressed with the dictionary corner as it promotes self learning.
Parent, Hong Kong
My child and I have fun reading My Little Paper, and we enjoy the time to read together. She is so eager to send her pictures to 'My Art'. I really have pleasure reading My Little Paper and would definitley recommend it to other families.
Noel Or, Kowloon, Hong Kong
I fight with my children to read Daily10 first!
Parent, Hong Kong
My daughter Ashlynn enjoys her My Little Paper very much. She is 3 years old now, and loves colouring and doing the games and puzzles.

I like the newspaper as it’s the only kid’s newspaper for this age group which is written in English in Hong Kong.
Parent, Hong Kong
My son really enjoyed the latest issue of My Little Paper.
Pia Wong, Happy Valley, Hong Kong
I wanted to congratulate you on the excellence of Daily10. It is intelligent, totally unpatronising and strikes a good balance between coverage of global events and making them relevant to the lives, interests, understanding and experience of children. My son saves all the back copies.
Parent, Hong Kong
It’s great! Keep up the good work and then our kids will have better knowledge and fill in the gaps that school doesn’t provide.
Parent, Hong Kong
Got a chance to see your newspaper today and much impressed.
Parent, Hong Kong
Daily7 and Daily10 provide a breadth of information that is in addition to what is learnt at school. It is factual, fun and informative but most importantly it is in a manner suitable for children to read.
Comments from children
I like reading Daily10 because it is much easier for children to read. I enjoy the cartoons of Rex, Eddie and Rufus and the others. The exciting part is that there are different types of competitions that I can participate in and I will definitely do my best to be the winner.
Christy, aged 10, Quarry Bay School, Hong Kong
I like Daily10 because it is very informative and I learn a lot about science, animals and current affairs from it. My favourite part is the cartoon of Eddie and Rex because it is funny.

I love reading my Daily7. It gives me information about some issues – it is quite creative, funny and interesting. It makes me realise how lucky we are compared with other people. And we can learn to do things. I think it’s great.
Student, Hong Kong
It’s kind of like a grown-up newspaper and you learn stuff about the world, and you learn what’s good and bad, and also there are games and quizzes that I like.

Comments from educators
I love your Daily10 content for my private teaching to students. It’s fun and easy educational material.
Bora Yun, private tutor, Hong Kong
I remember seeing the children's faces light up when the Daily10 was delivered – they loved it! It's such a great balance of fun and information with games and puzzles to keep them interested, and a perfect way to start a healthy habit of a lifetime.
Hollie Allman, former teacher and now The List Editor, Asia City Media Group, Hong Kong
It’s very useful for teachers to prepare lessons. A good variety of subject matter; some serious and some fun. The children love it.
Teacher, Hong Kong
I believe the Daily7/10 newspapers are an exciting opportunity for kids to learn about real events that are important and relevant to them today. For teachers, the paper provides a platform to discuss science, social studies and current events at a level the children can relate to.
Teacher, Hong Kong
Authentic and innovative. Daily7 & Daily10 maintain interest through authentic topics and current issues, such as world culture, Winter Olympics, etc. They also give readers insights into life in the English-speaking world.
Alan Wong, Academic Director, English for Asia, Hong Kong
Great, colourful, realistic pictures. Good introduction of vocabulary.
Teacher, Hong Kong International School
As a teacher, I think it’s a very good publication. The layout is clear and makes good use of the text and visuals. The content is interesting and at a level for independent reading for P2 children. As a daily, it introduces children to the habit of reading a newspaper ever day, which is a good thing.
Teacher, German Swiss International School, Hong Kong
The children love it, especially the weekend edition. I use it in school, for instance with Primary 5 when we did our lessons on space.
Teacher, Tai Po Old Market Public School, Hong Kong
We keep several copies of My Little Paper in the waiting area of our music school. The children love reading them and doing the puzzles while they wait for their violin lessons to begin. And our parents love having the fun and constructive activity to do along with their child!
Jennifer Moberg, Director, KinderU Suzuki Music Academy
The Daily7 and Daily10 newspapers are educational, colourful and fun to read. A great effort has been made to key in to the different interests of the children. As well as current news articles the papers include factual information, quiz questions, word games, cartoons and science experiments.

Teacher, Aldrich Bay Government Primary School, Hong Kong
Our students don’t speak English at home – it took some time for them to get used to the idea of reading an English newspaper – but now, they really look forward to reading their newspapers.
Native English Teacher, Tack Ching Primary School, Hong Kong
A children’s newspaper is an excellent idea. It encourages daily reading of a non-fiction text and promotes interest in current affairs.

Teacher, Canadian International School, Hong Kong
We love your newspaper and it is often a springboard for conversation as well as debate. The format is fit for students in this age group... as well as the topics... spot on as some would say. The vocabulary, length and variety also grab the reader – the student. Many of our students have begun ordering this now.
Teacher, Hong Kong International School
