Kids Discover

My grandma and grandpa bought my girls a subscription to Kids Discover magazine over a year ago. We have loved our subscription! Every issue of the magazine is like a mini nonfiction book on a particular subject. Some of the past issues have been "The Presidency," "Matter," "The Constitution," "The Great Wall of China," "Space," "Knights and Castles," and "Yellowstone National Park." The pictures are exciting, and there are games and puzzles at the end of the magazine to test what you have learned in the issue. This magazine is mostly for first grade and up. I still have to read a lot of it out loud to Emily, but she is starting to read more of it on her own. Even if some of the information is too advanced for a particular age, younger children can still glean a lot from looking at the pictures and listening to an adult read out loud. I think the magazines are great because they encourage seeking information, and they make a wide variety of topics exciting and accessible. Children love nonfiction, and these magazines are awesome! The subscription rate is $19.95 for 10 issues. You can check out the magazine and find games and other resources that coordinate with the magazine at http://www.kidsdiscover.com/ . Our local library has a subscription to this magazine, so if you want to check out some issues in person or save on the cost of the subscription, the library might be a great way to go!
