MAGAZINE (ages 8-12)
Brief Description: "Sports Illustrated Kids," a monthly publication, covers sports highlights for that month and includes all major sports. A removable poster of two sports figures is included each month as well as removable sports figure cards. The "favorites" section includes various monthly features such as "Tips from the Pros," "Scouting Report," and "What's the Call?" Great action shots and other photography pepper the pages of this exciting monthly magazine. Most articles feature men's sports, but a few articles focused on women athletes. Very few advertisements are present.
Awards: None
Personal Opinion: This magazine was gorgeously photographed with action shots - and huge spreads throughout the publication. I enjoyed the featured articles as well as the monthly favorites like "Freeze Frame." While most articles are short, there are a few longer and fairly well-written pieces as well. I noticed a lack of information concerning college-level athletes, but that may be because of the season.
Curriculum/Programming: This magazine offers an excellent addition to a PE Curriculum and would help create a wonderful discussion about various aspects of major league sports.
