Why subscribe to BAZOOF!™ Digi-Mag?
Built Through Youth Spirit!
Are you looking to help your child or classroom build confidence and discover their capabilities? Nothing sparks young minds quite like reading their peers’ work. Each Digi‑Mag is designed to be fresh, inspiring, and inviting—encouraging young readers to imagine, create, and believe in their own potential. For teachers, it could be a reward to read once they are done with their work. For parents, it is a trusted option while travelling or for reading together.
The digital Advantage
Having the publication in a digital format allows the title to continue offering creative opportunities for youth, even as reading habits evolve.
Planet GLAK as a Tool
Planet GLAK extends opportunities for youth work and is linked directly to BAZOOF!™ Digi-Mag. Plus, it offers invitations for off-screen writing and other activities.
