Sylvan learning has a free website for kids to find great books, read them offline, then take quizzes on each book. Kids earn points for completing quizzes. Points can be turned in for rewards like a free candy bar at the chocolate factory. This is a great way to encourage your child to read more and to track their understanding and comprehension.

Teach Your Monster to Read
One of my kids favorite reading resources is this fun free online game kids learn to read and never notice. You child can enjoy three levels of reading fun on teachyourmonstertoread.com and watch them take off.
Your local library
While this is nothing new the local library is one of the best reading resources at your disposal.
The large selection that is growing consistently is a great way to supply your young reader with every book their little minds can handle. This Library Unit Study from my friend Jody over at A Sip of Southern Sunshine will help your kids learn their way around pretty fast.
Some libraries host annual book sales or offer a small book shop for used books that can help your family build a wonderful home library of your own for a low-cost.
Many libraries hold literacy based events through the year from story time to party nights and even free classes. Mark your calendar for free events offered so you never miss anything good when you happen to have free time.

The Imagination Library by Dolly Parton is a great program for kids birth to 5. They get a new book every month in the mail at no cost to you. These books have been hand-picked to provide children with developmental growth.

What great resources for homeschooling parents. My kids are in public school, so they learn most of this there.
It is still vital that you take a part in your childs education. This list will help your child grow and learn as well.
This is a good collection of resources!
These are great resources that I will pass on to some other homeschoolers.
These are really helpful sources of information that will definitely help those homeschoolers. Will pass this on to my niece, she will gladly appreciate it!
I will have to tell my friend about this she does homeschool her kids. Heck I could use this for my own child and I don’t homeschool him. I think reading is the number one thing to learn because without it you can do nothing.
Dolly Parton’s imagination library? I’ve never heard of that resource. Thanks for sharing!
