Wacky ways to get your students reading.....

Wacky, but true....

Wacky ... but true is a monthly magazine format mix of freaky, fun and fascinating facts produced in the Hunter region,NSW. 


Now in its fifth year of production the magazine is proving to be a winner in homes and schools across Australia and overseas.


Research has shown that 73% of Australian youngsters prefer reading 
magazines to any other type of reading, and this magazine is sure to 
be a winner with its short, pithy items and eye-catching artwork. The magazine is edited and published by Michelle Down, an experienced primary teacher/ librarian. She says she loves doing the writing and research and feels the magazine is filling a gap in providing children with reading material that increases their general knowledge in a fun way.
  
Wacky, but true is one of the few quality children's magazines published in Australia.

 Any two magazines from this series may be read as Premier's Reading Challenge books; up to five more can be read as personal choice   See Series lists for individual titles.
