I am a Highlights kid! Even as an adult, I am still learning. Now, with my three girls, we are a Highlights family.
When I first started reading Highlights magazine as a young child, I remember my mother telling me about Goofus and Gallant. She too was a Highlights kid. As a mom now , I love reading with my children and see how they have made great progress through the years.
As an educator, I love how Highlights has a variety of genre that children should be exposed to – narrative, nonfiction, poetry and plays combined with fun puzzles for a great reading experience.
We want our Raising 3 Savvy Ladies readers to remember the Highlights memories too.
Were you one of those kids who rushed to the mailbox each month to see what Goofus and Gallant™ were up to? Did you grumble when you arrived at the dentist office to find someone had already circled the objects in the Hidden Pictures® puzzles? Millions of other people did too! Highlights for Children is celebrating those types of nostalgic memories with “I Was a Highlights Kid,” a Facebook-based campaign filled with fun, interactive games and activities.
We’d love for you to be one of the first to check it out and let us know what you think! Click here or go to www.highlights.com/memories to peruse old covers of the magazine, race your friends to see who can solve the Hidden Pictures puzzles the fastest, and take a fun quiz to determine if you’re more like Goofus or Gallant.
You can also check out the I Was a Highlights Kid video here!

I remember these from my childhood. I was always thankful to find them in the doctor or dentist office. My daughter would love getting something of her own in the mail each month and I like anything that encourages learning.
I would go to our local library, sit down with a stack of Highlights & go through all of the hidden picture pages <3
We would get to read these at home when my sons were a lot younger and they loved the stories, but the find items were always filled in but the boys loved reading the short stories and me kept a copy on the bathroom for further reading, it was our joke that our bathroom was the library, but all my boys love to read now, the boys would argue over who gets to do the find items, and was a chore keeping the fights down.
My kids love Highlights. We have spent a lot of time at the hospital/drs office with our youngest and the first thing my kids head for is the Highlights magazines.
My sons started reading highlights in prek and love to see them in their pediatricians office
As a kid, as sooon as Highlighst arrived my cousin and I would find a quite place, usually a closet and spend the afternoon perusing the latest edition!!
I remeber always reading it in the doctors office
I used to always read Highlights in the doctor’s office which made me weirdly look forward to it. I loved the illustrations.
I remember being so excited when we got the lil circulars in class! in elem school! It was the highlight (pardon to the pun) of my school days 🙂 I couldn’t get much cuz mom n dad didn’t really have the funds, although, I could get at least 1 each time. My 6 yr old daughter loves to read and I would love to show her around the,”Highlights”, world. That’s Fotolife the opp to win and all tht u do!
