List Articles Text Set

Family Fun Magazine recommended by Dawn Mitchell.  List Articles are everywhere in this family friendly magazine.  Here are a few I found helpful as a model for writing and as a reader. "Tidying Tips" from My Great Idea - Inspired Tips and Creative Strategies From Our Readers - a regular column in Familyi Fun magazine.  April 2010 edition.  In this same edition is another list article in their fitness section titled, "5 ways to..foster a healthy body image".  Also there is another list article called "Secrets of Organized Homes" that uses a list structure to provide the reader with specific tips to organize certain areas of the house such as Kitchen Table and Counters, "Computer Area", "Sports Gear Zone", etc.  Also in this same edition is a list article devoted to "Our Favorite Board Games" where the writer provides the reader with a list of their top eight board games.

In this online magazine it gives an overview of different places that you can go camping and includes the attractions in each destination.  It lists places all over the world.

Recommended by Lori Milan Southern Living is a great place to find list articles. Two weeks ago, I was packing my mom's house to help her move. I decided to look through her old magazines before I threw them away. I was particularly looking for list articles. Of the 8 or so magazines that I flipped through, there was only 1 that didn't have a list article included. Southern Living is fabulous to share with readers of 5th 6th grade too, because they get it!! Even if it isn't interest, they understand what they are reading.

Woman's World Magazine 

Recommended by Lindsay Blanton.  Someone recently told me about this magazine and eventhough I see it in the check-out line all the time it wasn't something I needed to pick up and it wasn't one that my mom subscribed too, so I didn't ever read it.  I needed stories and activities for a study group I was conducting at school and someone said pick up a Woman's World -there are great quizzes and touching stories.  I did and it was just what I was looking for and I love to get them all the time now.  It is really short and like a newspaper.  It is great for recipes and home decorating ideas and I have come across list articles or cute comics to share with students. 

                              Woman's Day Magazine

Recommended by Martha Vest.  Love this magazine.  I enjoy reading this Woman's Day while exercising on the elliptical machine.  During this time, I need large glossy pictures and lots of list articles and this delivers!

Woman's Day is filled each month with list articles on child rearing, food and recipes, exercise moves, beauty tips, and health articles on everything. In particular, I studied and read and reread the list article on "Getting Your Man to Take Care of Himself".  I've been frustrated for years about loved ones, and this was just enough to motivate me to motivate them.

Self Magazine

Recommended by Kim Sutherland. I love to read this magazine for pleasure because it definitely targets women who "dream" of obtaining these nice young bodies. (pre-children)  haha This magazine features many topics for women from weight,and many top 10 list.  This magazine is an easy read too. 

 Sports Illustrated 1/18/2010

This particular magazine was filled with list articles. I was surprised to find that even with a "boy" magazine it had some great articles in it, things that were interesting to me. There were list articles for next season's top 10 picks for teams and then there was a neat list article on Second Chance Stars. This told of 10-12 kids who transferred from particular colleges to better themselves and their careers. Great way to reach reluctant readers!!!!
