Extensive Online Reading Resources for all grade levels — Let’s get ’em reading!

Q: What’s the very first thing our kids should be doing daily to keep learning during Social Distancing???

A: READING!

It’s an easy way to give them skills they need for all subject areas, and to keep them engaged for an hour or more. If you don’t happen to have those kid who bury their noses in books, then look what I have for you today! Below is an extensive list of what I’ve seen on Social Media as well as what I found myself online. You don’t have to pay to have your kiddos reading online either. Almost all of these resources are FREE.

Check ’em out. Or better yet ….. have your little or big kiddo check ’em out!!! (And go ahead and comment or email me with more links. I’ll add it to this one!)
