Fun for Kidz – Wholesome Reading For Visual Learners

Caroline is a visual learner and she is not an avid chapter book reader (yet!). Like most visual learners, she enjoys color, engaging comics, photos, and strong graphics.

Those of us who parent children like this often find it challenging to keep them supplied with reading material that is age appropriate, contains quality content, and also supports the values of our family. When I learned about Fun for Kidz magazines I thought they might be something to meet her needs as a child as well as my need as a parent!

Fun for Kidz Reading

I received these magazines for free and was compensated for my time to review them. All of the content in this post is my own and I was not required to post a positive review.

Fun for Kidz Magazines

Finding Age-Appropriate Wholesome Reading Materials

My parents have given Caroline a subscription to Highlight’s High Five for years. We have piles of them and they have all been read over and over and over again. They were the perfect blend of stories, visuals, and learning opportunities. Caroline enjoyed them very much, but needs materials geared toward upper elementary. The regular Highlights magazine doesn’t appeal to her because it isn’t visually fun enough. We’ve checked out American Girl Magazine from the library, but they aren’t really magazines with much meat to them.

Fun for Kidz magazines really seems to be just the right fit!

Fun Wholesome Reading For Visual Learners

Fun for Kidz advertises their magazines as being wholesome fun with family values and no advertising. We found this to be a very accurate description. Fun for Kidz Magazines publishes three magazines.

Hopscotch for Girls – This is a bi-monthly magazine for later elementary and early middle school girls. It is a fun, colorful magazine with stories, puzzles, non-fiction articles, crafts, science and more. Each issue is published around a theme. For example, the three issues we received were themed Long Ago, Cats, and Lincoln & Washington.

Boys’ Quest – This is the bi-monthly magazine geared toward later elementary and early middle school boys. The themes we received included Numbers, Beavers and Help Out! Boys’ Quest includes similar features such as stories, puzzles, non-fiction articles, science and more.

Fun for Kidz – This is the magazine that is published in the months opposite Hopscotch for Girls and Boys’ Quest. It is for both boys and girls and gives families the opportunity to have a magazine come every month (if they desire). We received two issues themed Exploration and Nifty Rodents. Each one was well-done with lots of learning activities, articles to read and quality photos/graphics.

Unit Study Topics For Homeschoolers

Some of these topics would work very well for learning with themes or unit studies. For example, the Nifty Rodents issue of Fun for Kidz is very thorough. If you are a homeschooler, there is enough information in that issue to turn it into a ready-to-go unit study for elementary-aged kids. Add a few notebooking activities to go with it to record what you’ve done and boom! An entire science unit right there.

The Beavers issue of Boys’ Quest was also thorough so I’m assuming that many of their magazines would lend themselves well to topical unit studies for elementary-aged students. The magazines are printed on a high-quality paper so it will be easy to keep them around and use them over and over again if you have multiple children.

Fun for Kidz Magazines

Fun for Kidz Back Issues Available

Fun for Kidz has a zillion back issues available of all three magazines. I started scrolling through all of the different topics and realized that this can provide Caroline with fun learning and reading materials for a long time to come. And even better if you want to explore the back issues…
