"After two years of learning loss due to the pandemic, we are eager to restart the joy of reading and bring the successful approach of the Storyworks collection to first graders," said Janice Behrens, Editorial Director for Early Childhood Magazines, Scholastic Magazines+. "Scholastic Magazines+ has a 100 year history of exciting students in reading and part of the magic is in the use of this highly-visual medium. Research such as the Kids & Family Reading Report has found magazines have an appeal that only grows with a child's age and has the added trait of being the only format preferred by a greater percentage of infrequent readers than frequent readers. Our hope is that this magazine will contribute to setting the foundation for a lifelong love of reading for growing readers, while building confidence and fostering social-emotional skills."
