If using the same old same old stories to teach early readers is getting a bit boring – for you and them – go to www.myyoungchild.org where you’ll find 16 well-written and beautifully illustrated stories. From tales about a tree growing to standing up to bullies, each has a moral message but I like them just for the simple story lines and direct language. Each has a discussion area for teachers and parents to chat about the stories, using them to teach values and social skills. Don’t miss the section on teaching children how to read because even the most seasoned pro can be helped with its advice.
