Kids Discover Magazine

[Country Girl]

Does anyone subscribe to this? How do you use it? I just happened across this today and it seems like it could make for a good resource for science or history. I'm actually wondering if it could be comprehensive enough, if used with the Teacher's Guides, to make up my own science or history curriculum for early elmentary. However, I can't tell enough from what I can see on the website(the samples of the actual magazine are too small to really get a good feel for them) so I was looking for feedback from anyone who has seen these.

Thasks!

but we don't use it for any curriculum. Usually my dh reads the magazine to the kids because they don't seem to naturally want to read it on their own. They do enjoy having it read to them.

We get this magazine. It is a good magazine, and could be used as a spring board for teaching. It would depend on the age of the child as to how much you would want to supplement. Our children enjoy it very much.

Thanks Mindy and Josie. I'm glad to hear they are enjoyed in your homes. I might go ahead and buy a back issue since they are pretty inexpensive. Then I can get a feel for how much information is included and how hard I'd have to work to fill it out.

Thanks!

We don't subscribe, but we regularly check them out from the library. Both of my boys love the magazine.

Oh, I'm going to have to check my library. I didn't even think of that.

Thanks!

I just checked, our library has these. Yeah! Now I can check them out with out spending anything. Thanks for the tip.
