READING

 
What can you read with your child at home ? Here are some high interest books/magazine I recommend
 
National Geographic for kids: these magazines are great because they contain lots of pictures that will help your child to understand. They are appealing and contain fun facts that will get your cild learning English and learning about science, animal etc. Along with the magazine, kids can go on the National Geographic Kids website to play games and learn !
 


Interactive Reading:

 
Tumble Books

Now that is a fun and inteactive way to get your child reading! Tumble Books Library has a big collection and always ads new books. This is a great alternative to those who suffer from dyslexia because the program reads for them. The site also offers quizes ! Give it a try
