Favorite magazines?

I would like to get some magazines for DS(7) hopefully spark his interest in some new things along the way. I would love to hear some suggestions.

Thanks!

I suggest that you take him to the library and see what he likes.

My son loves Cricket, and Discovery Kids.

In a different vein, I'd like to recommend "Boomerang Audiomagazine". It's been described as NPR's "All Things Considered" for the 6-12 set. It's available as a mail-out CD or cassette-tape subscription, or as an audio download through Audible.com or iTunes.com. If you go to the BoomKids website you can listen to a sample issue. It's awesome for car rides and bedtime listening after lights out. No, it's not directly stretching reading skills (though there are a lot of benefits to literacy-enhancing skills like new vocabulary, critical thinking and language comprehension), but it does give kids access to a lot of material that they might not choose to read for themselves... politics, economics, science, geography, mystery stories, nostalgia stories, biography, etc. etc..

My son likes Click, Ask and Kids Discover.

Spider is also good -- it's stories and poems while the others are more non-fiction/true.
