Magazine – Child
Posted by bookend on March 29, 2007
The May issue of Child has some very interesting articles. ” Age-by-Age guide to great magazines for kids” has some great suggestions for magazines that you may want to subscribe to for your household. Often these magazines cover a multiple age span and will appeal to more than one child.
The other article I would like to point out is “the Poet in Every Child.” Parents often wonder what they can do to foster the love of creative expression in their child. It has many neat suggestions, some you have heard I am sure, but my favorite is “discuss language.” Find unusual words, rhyming words, well phrased language and help the child appreciate the play with ideas and words. Not one of the suggestions costs money, just time and thought. Our children are worth this cost.
This magazine is well worth a trip to the LMC and checking it out.

What a great use of a weblog. I find the information here informative and thought-provoking. This should be an inspiration for Library Media Specialists and other school leaders to open a forum for discussion. I know in our school people are always looking for an avenue to share thoughts and ideas, and this could definitiely be a model to follow. I look forward to following the conversations of the Fairview Staff, and hopefully participating in some of the discussions.

Thanks for the information Ann. I find this information and weblog very interesting and look forward to using it as I work with children and families of children with special needs. We always need to look at the child first, and poetry is a great outlet and tool. Thanks!
