"The one thing that guarantees my 8-year-old daughter will dive into reading each week is when her copy of The Week Junior arrives.
Having spent the first 8 years of her life asking me about what is going on in the world, she is now proud as punch that she can teach me things about the world! She can explore big topics in a safe and balanced way, through articles written in child-friendly language.
The first thing she does when she finds the magazine on the doormat is head to the weekly debate article- she loves to see how her vote from the previous week's debate compares to that of other readers. She loves telling me the pros and cons of the argument each week and I love watching her form her own independent decision each week.
It has been fascinating watching her independence grow as she engages with each week's issue and I can see how proud she is now she can join in when my husband and I discuss current affairs together." - Claire Smith, teacher and Mum
The Week Junior is designed and written by experts to get kids to fall in love with reading and learning. Even reluctant readers will find the short, engaging articles digestible and enjoyable and will find themselves reading the whole magazine in a fraction of the time they would finish a book; a great confidence boost whilst improving language and communication skills. Using the articles as a start point for discussions and debates at home is also an excellent way of improving children’s oracy – essential for personal and academic expression.
It's a brilliant way to:
🗸 Spark their natural curiosity in the world around them
🗸 Help them see different viewpoints - and form opinions of their own
🗸 Boost their confidence as they grow their understanding
🗸 Get them reading, talking and thinking - and passionate about sharing what they learn!
