The best reading teacher is to show children that you love to read.  Where you go they will follow.  Make sure they get to the library to expose them to actual books in addition to the virtual tools were now have.  Good luck with your little one.   

Hey, Paddy. Yeah I would have to say we read to our son at least five times a day. He loves the chance to go and pick a book for us to ready to him. Hope that you have a great week, Jim

Hi Jim,

We will be down your way in July.  I have a house on Lake Marion and love to visit Charleston.  We have promised the kids to finally do the trip to Fort Sumter this time (we are big Civil War buffs).  We used to belong to the aquarium but the kids are getting bored with that so we let the membership lapse.  Any other suggestions for our day in Charleston? 

Hey, Paddy. If you have time I would suggest a Dinner Cruise; they are awesome and not to expensive. I think about $40 per person and it last for three hours. They leave from Patriot Point. Hope you all have a blast. Jim

LOVE this website! My child's preschool teacher (thanks Kimber) mentioned it to me and the kids both love it.  I love it too because it is so easy for the kids to navigate I can get some laundry done while my 3 and 4 year old work on the computer!!

So great to hear that you and your children are enjoying the website, Deborah. We love it as well. Have an awesome day, Jim & Maria.

Hi Jim & Maria. Your community is lucky to have you. Thanks for sharing the great tip! Keep them coming.

Hey, Vincent. How nice of you to say that; we are sure that your community is just as lucky. All our best, Jim & Maria

Thanks my 5 year old is starting to read. I will check it out!

That is a really cool website! Thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks, I'll pass this on to my son he has a 5 year old, and you never have to much help when it comes to helping them learn.

Hey, DeVerie: We are so glad that you enjoyed the site. This is a great way to spend quality time with our little ones.

Hey, Doris: You are so right, every little bit helps.

We hope that you both have a great day, Jim & Maria

Thank you so much for this great post - My granddaughter will love it - thanks!

Yes thank you.  My daughter and I just checked it out.  She is 5.  She liked most of it which is great.  I paid for one reading website that she did not like at all so it is great that this one is free.  I have been trying to teach her how to read and this will help. 

Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of this site before. My kids are always on the computer playing games. It will be great knowing they are actually getting something educational out of it.

Thanks, I think its great, young children love the computer so if they can learn and play at the same time, wonderful

Have A Great Day

Norma: I hope that you and your granddaughter enjoy the site.

Regina: I'm glad that your daughter likes the site.  I hope that it helps her in her path to reading!

Laura: I completely agree.  Any educational time is time well spent.

Doris: Great point.  Children see us on the computer and what to do what we're doing, but this is their very own site, and it's so good for them.

Thanks for sharing the site. My babies LOVE to read books, magazines, "email" and they are definetely not old enough yet, but that sounds like a great place to introduce the phonics!

Lindsey: We think so too.  Our little guys just adores reading, so when he gets a little older, I think this site will be very useful for him.
