Leading to Reading

September 13, 2007 -- From Tina, from Washington, DC , who is affiliated with the site.

This site is super fun for preschoolers learning how to read! It has stories, games, and even finger play videos. My son was engaged with the site for over an hour. Best of all, there is no advertising. The site was created by Reading is Fundamental. Five stars all the way!


The Great Fomblor

August 23, 2007 -- From Steve, a reader, from Sydney, Australia, who is affiliated with the site.

A site for children aged from 3-7 containing the free Ebook entitled "The Great Fomblor", released by author and illustrator Steve Davis.


Short Stories Help Children

May 27, 2007 -- From Phil G, a reader, from Toronto, Canada, who is affiliated with the site.

This new seat-of-the-pants site uses short story writing as a means of showing parents how to guide their children and improve upon literacy, behavior and social skills. It contains common sense tips on motivation, child development, discipline and more. Our overly complex world often has to be boiled down to some simple truths, and young parents need the most help.

This site has lots of famous stories from the public domain to read.

Wot, Nott, kakuri and the HU BA HOU

August 23, 2006 -- From Gerry, a reader, from Ireland, who is affiliated with the site.

If you liked Harry Potter you will LOVE this story... A magical mystery adventure for young and old. It's like a cross between Harry Potter, Indiana Jones and Lord of the Rings. The first three chapters are free to download and enjoy...


Inkless Tales

June 17, 2006 -- From Elizabeth , a reader, from New York State, who is affiliated with the site.

Recommended by the American Library Association, which calls Inkless Tales entertaining, educational and easy to navigate, and by the Internet Public Library, which lists it as an "amazing site," Inkless Tales offers stories, poems, games and projects for four through eight year olds to learn and play in reading and math. New to the site: Inkless Tunes, music for kids, with free downloads.

Whootie Owl

May 5, 2006 -- From Kandi Permann, a reader from Calgary, Canada

Whootie Owl has a wonderful collection of stories that teach values. The creator, Elaine Lindy, has compiled hundreds of kid-illustrated folk tales from more than sixty countries, and each illustrates a positive value such as patience or self-reliance.
