One great way to get kids excited about reading is to find books that match their interest. One interest around our house is Minecraft! Thanks to free Kindle books, I’ve found a ton of free books without spending a dime.
Kindle books can be read on all sorts of devices with free apps, including your computer. My son’s favorites are Minecraft books. We stalk the sites watching for he books to become available. We now have several diaries (including Ninja Steve). Today is Minecraft Secrets Free!
I am a SAHM/WAHM of three boys ranging in age from 16 to 32. We are working on saving enough for college at the same time as dealing with school and our older independent kids. I author a few blogs, including http://teched4kids.com. I have in the past taught computer information technology classes for the local university and taught workshops for kid's in technology education besides being the Kentucky State FIRST LEGO League Championship Coordinator from 2005 to 2008. I now work as a computer consultant, run a handmade home business, and am available for workshops. Life here is always an adventure!
