In honor of NV Reading Week or reading in general, I wanted to provide cool educational websites. Most schools require children to read at least 20 minutes a night daily. This is a good thing because kids can learn a ton from books and become better readers. Unfortunately, I can’t always squeeze in 20 minutes to read to my kindergartner. That is why I LOVE educational websites. They are helpful when your child wants to veg. There are great story readers on there as well that can replace mama when she is busy with the other children. I’ve compiled a list of websites from numerous sources. The websites may fit under numerous categories. Have fun and play with them.
