Magazine Subscriptions that help you homeschool and learn at home
Homeschool Magazine Subscription Guide
Magazine Subscriptions that
Nurture a Love of Reading;
Encourage Children to Ask Questions; and Inspire Deeper Understanding of the World
Magazine subscriptions are a great way to encourage young people to expand their current knowledge data base by giving tangible, bite-sized bits of new information. Magazines are fun because they get delivered in the mail once a month, or every other month and they encourage readers to explore a different kind of literacy. Usually magazines have different sections and parts that engage different kinds of learning and provide different kinds of information. They are bite-sized information and often have beautiful photographs, illustrations, and information. I love magazines because they offer enough information to wet your tastebuds on lots of different topics. They are the perfect aid for follow-your-feet-learning and can open and expand a child’s growing understanding on a wide ranges of topics. The stories and articles are short enough that you can flip through them in the car, at the park, while going to the bathroom, right before bed, while on the soccer field — but provide enough information through text and graphic to make the information engaging, curious, fun…and to get a young person wanting to know more about topics that interest and excite them. This is the perfect jumping off point for deep-diving into curiosities that pique their interests — RESEARCH! Magazines are a gateway to new information, ideas, and concepts — and having a package delivered monthly is really something to look forward to in your monthly homeschooling rhythm! Mix it up and add some current events and topics.
Have other magazine subscriptions you use to inspire your family to read, get curious, ask questions, and learn? I would love to hear what they are so I can add them to our list!
