Dear Families,
I just added an on-line book from read.gov that many different children's book authors are writing together. The site and the first chapter are linked in the sidebar of this Blog. If you click on the link, you and your child can read along this story as it unfolds. Every 2 weeks a different author will add a new chapter to the book. In other words, the book will be written as we read! Registration is required as the site will send you the new chapters.
Please let me know if you encounter problems receiving your chapters.
Happy reading!!
Maria McCormack
