We Give Books Website

I recently stumbled upon a website that I think is just incredibly fantastic!!  It is:

http://www.wegivebooks.org/choose

You can read books to your child online for FREE!  And on top of the FREE part...they donate one book to charity for every book you read online!  You can even select the literacy charity you would like the book to go to (from their list of accepted charities.)  It just doesn't get any better than that!!!

You create an account, but it really is free, and I have not gotten any spam from them.  When you read the books online, if your child really loves a book, you have the option to purchase a hard copy of it.  But you do not have to, it truly is an option.    

I absolutely believe that you can never spend too much time reading to your kids!  So please take a moment to go check it out!    

Fun ABC Website

My friend Laney, over at 5 Little Munchkins and How They Grew found very neat (and free--you know I am all about free!) ABC website.  I love it because it has a section for the ABC's and other sections that teach reading.  There are some ABC printouts that will be fun when Jay starts to write too!  I am going to incorporate it into our weekly lessons, but if you would like to start playing with it now, here is a link to it:

I love that it is slightly interactive.  Jay will have to pay attention and click on certain objects to get it to keep going.  And it will reinforce our phonics, which is great!

Anywho, go check it out, and look for it in next week's lesson, 'D' is for Dinosaurs!
