Jackie in NE Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I recently put my 2 little guys into public school. It's a long story. Suffice it to say that I will likely be bringing them home next year. One thing that they have really liked is the "Weekly Reader" magazine that they get at school. Is there a Christian or Homeschool version of something like this? They are just little 2-page "magazines" with age appropriate info. about everyday stuff. There are questions to check for comprehension. I would be interested in these for all four of my dc, ages 6, 7, 9, and 13. An aside: the 2 older dc already get Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr. magazines which are put out by Focus on the Family. These are great, but are just for pleasure reading. I would like something more "schooly" for school. TIA, Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeside Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi Jackie- I know that there is something like this available. It is a Christian publication, but I can't remember right now who publishes it. I'm wondering if it is World magazine, but that's just a guess.

Laura in VA Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It has different magazines for different grades. Check it out: http://www.gwnews.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeside Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This piqued my interest, so I googled it...there is one by World, called God's World News. Here is the link. http://www.gwnews.com/products.cfm Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We subscribed to this for a year. It's like God's World News, but secular. It was always interesting to the kids and they looked forward to getting it every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I am not aware of an alternative, but you can get weekly readers on your own if you really liked them. I bought a subscription for a friend of mine and I (too expensive for just 1, but cheap for 2 subs)...They send a month at a time, so this gives me a reason to stop by and visit with my friend. :) I have the second grade one, but my 4 year old sits in and reads with us as well. They are a cute supplement to just read while having lunch, or while I'm correctly ds's school work. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in NE Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks all who answered. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 God's World News also does a summer edition, with longer magazines once a month. Maybe a good way to try it out before committing to the schoolyear? We did this last summer and decided not to get the schoolyear subscription, then Weekly Reader was a huge hassle with not sending the right stuff, so we cancelled that and are currently not using a weekly magazine.
