MiniMag is a trusted monthly educational resource created for readers aged 8–12. It combines carefully researched, age-appropriate content with colourful design, clear explanations and an engaging magazine format that encourages young people to read, question and explore independently.

Each issue offers broad cross-curricular coverage across science, nature, history, technology, sport, culture and the arts. Readers can investigate fascinating subjects, discover inspiring people, explore important ideas and develop a wider understanding of the world around them. Puzzles, activities, creative challenges and visually rich features provide additional opportunities for engagement both inside and outside the classroom.

MiniMag’s varied content makes it a valuable resource for independent reading, classroom research, reading programmes, project inspiration and informal learning. Its accessible approach supports different interests and reading abilities without talking down to young readers, while its carefully considered, low-advertising environment gives educators and librarians confidence in the material they are providing.

MiniMag has been made available through more than 2,000 schools and libraries across 160 countries. Institutional access provides students and educators with fully searchable current and back issues across web, iOS and Android devices, supporting convenient discovery and reading in the classroom, throughout the library, on campus and remotely.
