A decade ago, The Week introduced The Week Junior, a new magazine for eight to 14-year-olds. It maintains the core principles of its parent title—clear, measured, balanced, and engaging—but is expertly adapted for young readers. The Week Junior empowers children to satisfy their curiosity about the world and helps them develop their own opinions and voice.
The Week Junior is written and designed to make sense of the world for young people. It uses accessible language, vibrant imagery, and facts that spark conversation. Covering everything from global news, debate, and politics to animals, sports, history, crafts, puzzles, and culture, it engages even the most reluctant readers. We aim to nurture the same love for discovery that you, as a reader of The Week, value.
What's inside an issue of The Week Junior:
