Sorry I've been MIA this past week. It's been a busy one! Had a friend ask yesterday which books would get her daughter more into reading. While it depends on the child, I found these great book lists from Scholastic's website . Also, interactive books are always a good bet. These include flip book or books with texture. For beginning readers (Ages 3-8) Bookflix is a great program to checkout. However, you need to buy a subscription. Check out the free trial though!
