Parents of beginning readers might be interested in the ebooks and online reading materials that they can use at home. Schools may order copies of a small folded handout describing BookFLIX, Britannica Learning Zone and Kids InfoBits. There is a space to write the school username/password on the handout. Contact Sherise Ahlers at sahlers@aea11.k12.ia.us for copies.
