Links for Parents

These are some pages that I have found that I thought you might find interesting and helpful. I hope your find something to help you. Please feel free to share other site suggestions with me, since I want to make this a page to help you and others. Let me know what you think about the pages, and what you liked best about the site you visit. (If you find that one of these links is not working please let me know so that I can make adjustments.)

Summer Reading Links

Looking for some ideas to look for when going to the library for some reading material? Here are lists I found that might help. Remember that reading level is not so much the grade level your child is entering, but rather the level that they read, understand, and enjoy. The more they read the better readers they will become. (Remember that even children of this age enjoy being read aloud too!)
