Mary Glasgow Magazines

These colourful little magazines have been around for several years and are a great extra resource for language learners and teachers. They supply two German magazines, five French, three Spanish and eight English. Their web site is also fascinating, providing details of magazines, books, interactive software and free downloadable photocopiable worksheets for teachers to use with students. Subscriptions become cheaper the more you buy: for example, one subscription to La Petite Presse, the new publication for 7-11 year olds costs £17.00. Ten or more cost £8.00 each.
The magazines come with accompnaying CDs. They contian articles, fun exerices, core vocbulary and links to useful web sites.
The material covers a variety of levels, particularly in French and English. Do check the web site for details, and also bear in mind that learners can work at a higher level if supported by a teacher. The magazines are useful for individual study or classroom work.
