I found a great on-line magazine. It is called New Moon Girls and is a bi-monthly magazine that is 100% advertising-free. It's topics are the highest-quality content for girls age 8 and up! You won't find diet advice or popularity contests here. Girls can submit art, poetry and articles. There are experts who write columns and answer questions. Topics are covered to empower young women and to help them gain confidence and courage.
This current issue is a good example. A psychotherapist writes about stress.- "A Girls Guide to Chill". What stress is, how to identify it and how to eliminate it is discussed by the expert in a clear and age appropriate manner. Additionally, young contributors add insight and advice to the reader.
Another column is Voice Box- hot topics being the subject. This page is written totally by tweens and teens. This month's subject is Texting and the comments are interesting. Another great column? Be a Shero. You gotta love the message there. This article includes a quiz to match the shero with her accomplishment.
There is a thirteen year old's essay on names and how they impact a girl's life. Her article is great but what an opportunity for budding writers. Teens can contribute to the magazine and actually be published. Could anything better reinforce the importance of literacy and learning? What it takes to construct a sentence, a paragraph and to cover a topic? Why vocabulary and support of a thesis is important. The English teacher in me loves this aspect ofNew Moon Girls.
Did you know there was a female undercover spy during the Civil War? Read her story in the magazine. How to relate and support friends whose parents are serving in the military is another topic in this issue. How to make a political change and a story about the artist who creates Wonder Woman are other offerings.
New Moon Girls magazine is about helping girls discover and honor their true selves, engage in meaningful pursuits and dialogue, and express their voices in ways that matter.Go to their site and share it with your daughter. It's a fabulous chance to put something safe, creative, positive and entertaining on their computer. Let me know what you think. www.NewMoon.com chrissie
