Free eBooks for Read Across America Day

The National Education Association in the US has a yearly "Read Across America Day" to encourage families and teachers to keep reading with children. The benefits of reading are so many and so great that I don't have space/time to discuss them all here. This post is to let you know of a few favorite books and how you can gain instant access to them!

One of the read things about signing while reading is that it adds extra depth by making books interactive.

The excellent Baby Signing time, Potty Time and Signing Time eBooks are FREE on the Kotoba & Sign Digital Player until 3/3/2017 (US time) with the code: sign2read . 

Limit 1 per customer account.

Recommendations:
★　The song "I love to Read a Book" works great for transitioning into reading time. I use it both in my classes and with my kids at home.
★　The Signing Time video "Once Upon a Time" covers useful vocabulary and signing for story time
★　The Signing Time video "Who Has the Frog" introduces key question words to use when discussing what you've read.
