There is a kid’s literature magazine called Read. I would get it in the late 70s/early 80s from the Scholastic Book Club. I have found their current website (they’re a Weekly Reader publication). I am looking for a website that might have info on back issues from that era, but my Google-fu has failed me. Read is such a common word, and there is a Read magazine that covers punk/indie music, so I have not found anything but the “official” site. Does anyone know of such a site?

I actually have a couple of issues from 1979 right by me. (I save \*everything \* :))

Oops should have read more carefully. I see you already found the official site. Well I looked and couldn’t find anything. If it’s any help it used to be put out by Xerox Education Publications back then.

If anyone can track down the October 2000 issue, I’d love to find it.
