Sun Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Does anyone remember getting Weekly Reader in school growing up? I would love to find something similar for use at home. Does anyone know of something designed for upper-elementary or middle-school kids that offers subscriptions for homeschoolers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kchara Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Weekly Reader is still around, you could just order them. They're about $30 a year (make sure you read the fine print on the order form. It looks like they're $5 a year, but that's for orders of 10 or more. For one subscription, it's $30). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 A Christian source is God's World News. Their newspapers are delivered on a regular basis through the school year. There are different levels depending on your child's age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaOz Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 We are using Newsademic. It also comes with activity sheets in two levels for some of the articles and is emailed to us fortnightly. http://www.newsademic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homemama Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 We have enjoyed Scholastic News from Scholastic. It is very reasonable, and is very much like Weekly Reader. It also has skill pages with internet links, but will not let you use them unless you have at least 10 subscriptions. They do cater to the public schools in that sense, but it is a really good little leaflet and it comes in the mail weekly or bi-weekly, can't remember. homemama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
