This is really good for sports-oriented kids. My son has interestes in baseball, basketball, soccer, hiking and many other sports or outdoor activities. This magazine provides good broad coverage without having to worry about "swimsuit issues" or the like. This was a smart move on their part.

My mother purchased a subscription to SI for Kids last year for our son who was an almost-seven-year-old. Ever since the first issue, he has gotten very excited when the latest issue arrived. At first, he would just look at the pictures and read what he could. Since his reading level has "exploded" this past year (in part, no doubt to the sports books/magazines he's been reading), he reads every issue from cover to cover. This is a great magazine for kids. Needless to say, his subscription has been renewed for another year. We'll be moving up to the next level of SI before too long, I'm sure.

I've been reading this with my six year old son for several months now. It's a great way to get in some pleasurable reading, and start forming a reading habit, with a child who likes sports.
There are a number of standard sections, and nice short articles in kid-friendly language. Each month they have an insert with some playing cards which he looks forward to. And they'll interview a player about a specific skill -- how to steal a base, how to play defense in basketball, etc.
I recommend it both for the fun/sports content, and also for the educational benefit of starting the reading habit.

I ordered this as a birthday gift for my 8yr old nephew who loves to both play and watch sports. Now he grabs the issue as soon as it arrives and runs to his room to read it and get his new trading cards. Each issue also comes with a small poster in the middle that can be hung in their room or locker. It appears to have the same or similar articles as the "adult" version but no swimsuit issue and otherwise edited for the younger set. He has already asked me to renew the subscription for his next birthday. This is a great way to get your kids reading which will also help improve their writing as well as other skills needed in school (and life).
If your child loves sports I highly recommend investing in a subscription - well worth the $20!
