WHAT IS TFK?
Time For Kids is...
...a Magazine
It's a big world, especially to kids, and Time For Kids -- from the creators of TIME magazine -- brings the latest news of the world to you (so you don't have to circle the globe looking for it yourself!).
Time For Kids delivers three editions during the school year: The World Report edition is an eight-page magazine, and most of its readers are in grades 4-6. The four-page News Scoop edition is for younger readers, and the four-page Big Picture edition is especially for kindergarten and 1st graders who are learning to read. The World Report and News Scoop are weekly magazines that cover news and articles about interesting people, places, and kids just like you. The Big Picture comes out every two weeks in two editions -- one focuses on news events, while the other explores big topics like transportation, animals, and seasons.
You can't find any of these magazines on newsstands - your teacher can order them for your class or your parents can order them and have them mailed to you at home. Look for exciting special issues throughout the year, as well as posters, maps, mini-magazines and more!
...a Website
