For Kids:
1. The Comic Creator invites children and teens to design their own comic strips. Their creations can be just for fun or as part of more structural learning activities: planning writing activities, before- and after-reading activities, and responding to books.

2. The ABC Match game challenges children to match letter cards and picture cards that begin with that letter, for example, d with a picture of a dog. Children learn to read by first learning how letters sound—this relationship between letters and sounds is called phonics. Once children learn how individual letters sound, they can then string them together to sound out simple words like cat or map.

Ask your child questions about the stories and encourage him or her to ask questions in return. Invite your child to read to you. When he or she reads even just a few words, be very proud! Celebrate these small successes. It will motivate your child and open a world of knowledge.
