Ladybug Magazine is a highly effective cross-curricular teaching resource. It develops countless skills for young children including reading comprehension, letter patterns, rhyming, image-text connection, counting, visual discrimination, music/singing, associative/deductive reasoning using riddles, and even introduces science concepts to preschoolers. It definitely sparks a love of reading.

I've been reading Ladybug and Cricket for many years with my own children as well as my students. Ladybug is perfect for pre-k until about the end of 1st grade. I've used this magazine for many different lesson plans, activities, and for supplemental reading for my advanced readers. Cricket Media just packs these magazines full of wonderful, child engaging, and age appropriate content! Two BIG thumbs up!
