Happy National Book Lovers Day!

Help your little Book Lover enjoy National Book Lovers Day in style with beautiful stories they can actually read themselves! 
 
While our higher-level readers are not yet available, we do have 68 of the lower-level books ready now!
Level 1 covers short-vowel, three-letter words. These books are easy to read with usually only one sentence per page and only 16 pages long. (25 books)

Level 3 adds an E at the end of words to make a long vowel sound, such as snake and paste. (5 books)
And then, of course, we have our best-selling set of early readers that are even easier than Level 1 and have fewer pages per book. These little stories make it easier than ever for a new reader to read an entire book themselves!

First Books™ short-vowel early-reader books that slowly introduce each new sound and provide practice for every letter in the alphabet, except Q. (13-book set)

Parenting Gifted Children Week

July 16th – 22nd is National Parenting Gifted Children Week

But aren’t all children gifted in some way, regardless of their color or size? Let’s celebrate them all!

 

And it’s better if they can learn something while we're all celebrating.

 

Here are our suggestions to learn while having fun and celebrating your gifted child(ren):

 

  1. Go to an unusual museum, such as a historical railroad, and look at old trains
  2. Put on your boots for a hike but check ahead to ensure there’s a nearby waterfall
  3. Sightsee or find an old mineral vein at an abandoned mineshaft
  4. Marvel at the creatures of your local zoo or aquarium
  5. Grab your bathing suits and cruise to a lake or beach
  6. Savor the fruit you pick yourself at a family-friendly farm
  7. Inhale as deeply as you can at your local botanical garden
