The Week Junior is an award-winning children’s magazine that covers national and world events and delivers animals, science, sports, and entertainment news to homes and schools each week. The magazine also publishes two free newsletters for parents, written by its editors. These quick reads are designed to help parents connect with their child with easy and engaging ideas
The Week Junior For Parents newsletter arrives in your inbox on Friday mornings. It features three conversation starters about the week’s news you can use with your child at the dinner table or on car rides. Ideas about what you can do as a family that weekend are included, as well as fun facts and favorite links to the week’s best reads for parents.
The Week Junior Book Club newsletter arrives in your inbox once a month on Thursdays. It announces that month’s pick for The Week Junior’s Book Club. From fantasy to adventure, graphic novels to historical fiction, the editors comb through hundreds of books to find the most engaging reads for middle schoolers. The newsletter includes a review of the book, a list of discussion questions that kids and families can use to start their own book club, plus a special video that our featured author makes each month for The Week Junior.
