The "Weekly Reader"
Weekly Reader was a weekly educational classroom
magazine designed for children. It began in 1928 as
My Weekly Reader. Editions covered curriculum themes in the younger grade levels and news-based, current events and curriculum themed-issues in older grade levels. The publishing company also created workbooks, literacy centers, and picture books for younger grades.
In 2012,
Weekly Reader ceased operations as an independent publication and merged with its new owner,
Scholastic News, due primarily to market pressures to create digital editions as well as decreasing school budgets.
