Review on Cricket Media by Michael Glidden Forteski
Cricket Media is well-worth the price
Cricket Media is a massive source of material for children ages 3 to teens. I have used their stories in the classroom for years. To go along with rich and topical original stories, there is plenty of levity and tons to learn. The topics covered in their science content has inspired many lessons, while their short story content has been a creative beacon for many children. They cover a wide range of interests from history to science, in addition to poetry and early childhood education.
You can likewise find a large number of their stories featured on sites like Nearby for some interactive learning. Having better access to specific stories and not just editions, would make curating lessons easier for teachers. There is so much to choose from, one might ask if there is too much. However, I would say, that given the quality of the content provided, there is never enough.
Cricket Media is definitely outlet worth checking out if you are teacher or a parent looking to inspire your children with top-notch illustrations and original storytelling. I would highly recomment their age-specific magazines to any child from 0 to teens. The content is rich and engaging, and well worth the price tag of a subscription.
