Cool Website

To encourage reading at home visit Book Adventure sponsored by Sylvan Learning Center. There are plenty of book titles to interest a wide range of readers. It is similar to Accelerated Reader in that students select a book, read it, and then take a test to earn points. There is a parent section where you can go to set the awards for your child; each book is worth 100 points. When your child/children sign up, you can link them to your account so you can monitor their progress. I have set this up for my children: a kindergartener and a 6th grader. You can search by titles, authors, interests, and grade levels. If it's too much to juggle now, keep it in mind for the summer! Check it out and let me know what you think!
