 Highlights Still a Highlight! November 16, 2005
20 out of 25 found this review helpful
My 6-year-old, who is a fairly advanced reader for her age, loves Highlights...in fact, it's only been in the past 6 months or so that she has really started getting into the magazine. We've been subscribing to it for a year or so, but now that she can read, she can't wait to tear into it when it arrives.

In an age where material for youngsters invariably catapults into the hyperbolic with "xtreme" graphics, slang, and endless nods to cultural trendiness and commercialism it's nice to see that at least one magazine has remained cool, calm, and collected. This is an excellent publication for those households where ADD, Ridilin, and Prozac are not givens (and they do exist). If your kids can actually sit still for a while and find entertainment in things that require thoughtfulness and attention this is recommended. Yeah, it's "old-fashioned" and some youngsters and parents will certainly find it boring, or lacking in flash or "correct" political indoctrination, but please tell me--aside from the computer "literacy" (what an inappropriate word to use there) that'll be a major asset when job hunting time comes around--what benefits have we seen for our children from this current over-hyped, over-stimulating, and over-marketed culture?
My recommedation as something of an authority on kids and play is this: get a subscription to this magazine BEFORE you have children, then ask yourself how you can raise youngsters who would appreciate it.
Praise to the publisher and editor who decided not to bring in some modern marketing person and trendy art director to "tart-up" the magazine, make it look like every other sucrose-drenched kid's publication. I worked for a huge toy company that went trendy and lost its soul, actually forgot what it did right...and it eventually lost its customers too.
A BIG TIP October 2, 2006

I read Highlight Magazine faithfully when I was a child. Now I am a mother of two (2nd grade and Kind.). I just got a tip from a teacher at school - the writers of the Highlight (Harcourt) also write the exam for the 3rd grade state test in New York state.
absolutely the best magazine for young children May 24, 2007

My kids (5 % 6) love Highlights. It's a real treat for them when the new issue shows up. They can read much of the magazine themselves but they still beg me over and over again to read them the stories. They race through the hidden pictures and love the brain teasers.
I like this magazine. April 22, 2008

I am seven years old, (almost 8), and I really like Highlights because I really enjoy the crafts in each issue. I also like the cover page that tells all about what's inside the magazine. I think most kids would really enjoy this magazine.
