Digital Smarts - Tech Help for Getting the “Right” Books To Your Child
You are here
Have you ever watched children choosing books at a library or bookstore? Most kids do not pick books based on title, author, or jacket description the way adults do. Instead, they spend time exploring each book, skimming through pages and looking at pictures. What are they looking for? A book that explores a subject the child is excited about at that moment. It could be butterflies or baseball, buildings or ballet.
Where can you look to get that kind of variety for kids to explore? One idea is Epic!, the digital reading resource that focuses on reader-driven, instantly accessible reading choices. It’s a free resource for teachers and school librarians and offers more than 20,000 titles for kids under 12. As parent you can harness the power to offer a large variety of books on a wide variety of topics to your kids for $4.99 per month.
