Unlock your child’s super skills

The Week Junior helps children grow in confidence, feeds their curiosity, and prepares them for a world of new experiences, environments and opportunities. Here are six essential life skills The Week Junior supports:

Reading for pleasure - A regular home reading routine creates confidence, builds vocabulary, and supercharges writing skills. It’s also proved that reading for pleasure helps children relax, and increases empathy and happiness.

Wellbeing - Expert advice on our weekly Wellbeing page empowers readers to take care of themselves, boosting their mental health, positivity, and resilience.

Critical thinking - Our Big Debate feature invites children to explore new ideas and consider multiple perspectives, giving them the power to form and express their own opinions.

Curiosity - Discovering fun facts and extending general knowledge encourages curiosity and nurtures a love of learning that will last a lifetime. 

Problem-solving - Tackling our puzzles flexes their mind muscles and develops powerful problem-solving skills. Our weekly quiz tests memory and comprehension.

Citizenship - Exploring world events and discovering how people help others inspires readers to become engaged and responsible citizens.
