iLoveReading is a magazine for children between the ages of 5 - 8. This magazine seeks to develop the joy of reading in children and to complement their learning through a series of well thought out stories and activities. It centres around three main characters: a brother and sister named Stan and Stella; and Lulu, a ‘magical’ monkey. Children will be eager to join in the adventures of the characters in each new issue.
The stories and activities of each issue are based on a particular theme. The theme in the first issue is ‘Jungle Animals’ and the subsequent themes for Volume 1 of the series include ‘Farm Animals’, ‘Earth Day’, ‘Travel’, ‘International Friendship’ and ‘Storyland’.
The stories seek to draw the children in and create in them a desire to read and find out what happens to the characters, whom they will be able to readily identify with. The level of reading is age appropriate and seeks to reinforce reading fluency. Questions are embedded within the stories to help children develop both critical thinking skills and empathy towards others.
