What it actually is

The children's news bulletin explains the day's events in straightforward language with lots of visual context, and the website carries written articles alongside the video. It is a natural step up once the Journaal in Makkelijke Taal feels easy. Be aware it is not a learner product: the delivery runs at normal Dutch speed and covers more stories per episode, so it is harder than its target age suggests. Free and updated every weekday.
