All of these have been kid-tested and kid-approved by my own two kids! Some of them we have subscriptions to already and some we looked at at our local library.

Articles about History and archeology.
A great character education magazine that hooks even the most reluctant reader through sports!
With science projects, jokes and just plain good short stories this magazine is always a hit with kids.
Just like the adult version but with articles and pictures that matter to kids! A high quality magazine.
A kid favorite, this magazine really pulls in a lot of reluctant readers (boys and girls).
Ranger Rick
American Girl
Discovery Girls
Boys Life
Girls Life
Zoobooks
These are just a few of the magazines that could be used in the classroom for fun reading. Choosing will be really hard. I think there is nothing wrong with using Time for Kids and Scholastic News and all of the other great, amazing, magazines that are usually used whole-group. But, some of these magazines would just make independent reading so much fun, and they might pull in some of my reluctant readers!
