Hi, LM_NETters. I recently posted a request asking about magazines suitable for K5-6. The list is made considering that only grade 3-6 actually checks them out. I was sad to find that there aren't many that simply promote health/fitness/activity. Also, it seems gaming magazines are either too hard, violent, mature, or too advertisement oriented. And thirdly, I couldn't find a news magazine that wasn't a classroom type -- they won't hold up to library usage. Thanks for all the input and suggestions! I'm headed to a bookstore to browse physical copies. Also, I'm going to request sample copies of others. :) HERE IS A LIST WITH FAVORABLE COMMENTS: American Girl Appleseeds Boys Life Cat Fancy (Only because there is no Cats for Kids) Cobblestone (doesn't circulate much) Cricket Dig Dirt bike (for a slightly older crowd) Discovery Girls Disney Adventure Dogs for Kids Highlights Junior Baseball Kickoff (football) Kids Discover Muse National Geographic for Kids (mixed reviews, most positive) Nickelodeon Nintendo Power (mixed reviews, most positive) Odyssey Ranger Rick Science News (for a slightly more advanced reader) Spider Sports Illustrated for Kids Stone Soup Young Dancer Zoobooks HERE IS A LIST WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS: Becketts - Useless for literacy. (card collector mags for football, basketball etc.) Cat Fancy - Pictures are good, but the articles are too hard Dog Fancy - Pictures are good, but the articles are too hard Girls Life - too much kissy boy stuff & advertisements for Elem age students -- JoAnn Johnson, MLIS Irving Elementary School IMC West Allis, WI johnsonj@wawm.k12.wi.us -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
