Charlie is back in public school as you all know. I’m also Homeschooling Charlie as well. I can help Charlie be more on the right level than he is. One way I’mdoing that is doubling the amount of reading Charlie has to do every day. I would like to invite you to come and check out Kidsmomo.
Kidsmomo can be used for children to use in reading. There are so many things on this site that I couldn’t tell you all of them if I tried. I’m just going to share something I found that shows you more about the website.
Kidsmomo
Age Range: 8-13 (Grades 3-8. As always, parents should preview the site and reading recommendations to determine the suitability of content.)
Two women book publishers (with a great sense of humor and love of children’s books) created this website with activities, videos, and reviews designed to introduce kids to quality books to encourage reading for sheer pleasure in a non-academic mode.
When you get to the site you’ll find a menu that offers:
- Reviews by You(the) – Read kid-submitted book reviews, with peer comments and ratings. Submit your review!
- Recommended Reads – Enjoy a series of blog posts with long lists of great books to read in a variety of topic/subject categories.
- Videos & Podcasts – Enjoy listening to kid-friendly chats and watch smart video clips featuring book recommendations.
- Themes – Get recommendations and reviews for books about boys, series starring girls, poetry, mythology, biographies, foreign lands, and more.
This site offers a smart way to engage kids in the joy of reading for fun and pleasure! Be sure to bookmark it so you can return to see the latest posts, podcasts, videos, and reviews.
Take a look at the website and let me know what you think of the site. And if you have used this site in your Homeschooling class what did you think about it and what you use?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
