Radio Shack has a few experimenter kits in there catalog.
You can build hundreds of electronics projects with them.
It will come with a book of projects that should include 
everything you need to know.  RS will need to order it for
you. At least I didn't find one on there shelf at Christmas. 
I think this would be better then mag. projects!    

It looks like the old Heathkit experimenter board I used 
as a kid.  My Heatkit kit told how the circuts work and what to look for
if it doesn't work.  It had about 40 components mounted on it, and came
with color coded wires of 3" - 10" lengths.  
I almost dug mine out of my parents basement last time I was there.
Heathkit doesn't make them any more. 
This kind of kit gave me a good start.  I had my Ham novice ticket
when I was 12.
