Spanish magazine for young children in US?

[cathmom]

Does anyone know of a kids' magazine in Spanish that is not too expensive and available in the US? I found one called Iguana, but it may be too hard. It says that it is for bilingual children ages 7-12. I was looking for something on the preschool or K level.

Scholastic used to publish weekly magazines in Spanish (similar to the Weekly Reader I used to get in school, around 4 pages on newspaper). They had versions from PK/K all the way to around 8th grade level. I used the 2nd grade one many years ago, and my boys really enjoyed it.

I haven't checked to see if they are still publishing this or not, but the information should be on their website.

You could try pm'ing Mabelen, or maybe Patricia in WA. I believe they are both native speakers. They might have some ideas for you . . .

http://www2.csusm.edu/csb/english/lists/magazine.htm lists some, many from Mexico.

I also found these: Popi, Caracola, Leo Leo, Reportero Doc, and Okapi (each for various ages) at http://www.conmishijos.com/ .

For teenagers, Scholastic distributes these (http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/classmags/mgm_spanish.htm) Spanish magazines from Europe (they are published by Mary Glascow Magazines). There is some gossip about movie/rock stars in them, if that offends you, but it is pretty much G-rated material. You can check out a sample magazine on this site. I used to get for myself ¿Qué Tal? They are not that easy though! Your Spanish will get a real workout.
