Highlights High Five is the newest offering from the publisher of the nation's #1 children's magazine, Highlights for Children. Like its older sibling publication, Highlights High Five is founded on the belief that children are the world's most important people, and helps set children firmly on the path to becoming curious, creative, caring, and confident individuals. Highlights High Five celebrates the early years of childhood - a time of discovery when learning happens at every turn. Our magazine is dedicated to helping parents, educators, and other caregivers nurture young children by:
- encouraging a natural sense of wonder about the world;
- promoting reasoning, problem solving, and creative self-expression;
- fostering a love of language and a rich vocabulary;
- and inspiring them to be kind, to get along with others, and to grow in self-confidence...for children are the world's most important people.

Summary: Great for preschoolers
Comment: I started receiving this over the summer and my daughter loves it. When she started pre-k this was reccomended by her teacher. It made me feel good to know that even professionals agree that this magazine is a wise choice for young readers or pre-readers.

Summary: Promotes spanish
Comment: If I wanted my child to learn the language of the barrio, I would purchase some spanish materials.
While High Five has activities for the English-speaking child, it also provides English-into-spanish translations.
So, because I am absolutely disgusted with the promotion of spanish in the USA ("press one for spanish", product labels in English and spanish, government publications in English and spanish, et cetera ad nauseum), I have cancelled my child's subscription.
Instead, I have purchased learning materials in French, Chinese and Farsi. My child will be multi-lingual - - but I'm refusing to promote the fractionalizing of my own country into englispan.

Summary: 1st issue just received!
Comment: I ordered this subscription for my just-turned 2-year old. She is rather advanced for her age, and absolutely loved the first issue, which we just received this week. Some of the activities are just much more than she knows, but I intended for this to be a teaching tool. I'm very pleased with it so far, and intend to keep the issues around for quite a while to use as she gets older and learns more. The pictures are beautiful, with not too much happening on each page, but just enough to keep her interest. She loves the search and find games, and the counting games are great for beginners. I like that each activity includes almost all ages intended as the target audience, without excluding the younger or the older ages. It's wonderful! Thanks a million!

Summary: age appropriate activities
Comment: I was vwey disappointed with my first issue. There aren't any activities that my 5 year old can do alone. I expected this magazine to be something I could give her to keep her busy but instead it is something we have to do together.

Summary: My three year old loves it
Comment: I got High Five for my three-year-old daughter at a huge discount. I will renew even if that opportunity doesn't present itself when it's time. There are poems, songs, action games, find-the-picture, and each magazine has a game to play outside the magazine as well. At Easter time, for example, it had a poem about colored eggs, and the game to cut out was a color matching game with the different colors of eggs. My daughter really loves this magazine. I love the fact that it encourages dialogue about relationships inside and outside the family. It gives my daughter a chance to develop fine motor skills and even gross motor skills - each issue also has a song that has "movements" to it: making a fun way for my daughter to use her hands and get some exercise. There is always a recipe that we can try together, and most of them have been a big hit. We learned how to make puppets, play dough, and other fun crafts that have been the highlight of our reading time. I am impressed by the preschool version of Highlights. If it hadn't been for the reputation of Highlights as a great kids magazine, I would not have looked twice at High Five. But, rest assured, it's a great way to be involved with your pre-schooler and will teach your child important skills for school and life in general.
