Danielle's note:
Hey, I found this cute vocabulary game; it's fun and might also be useful if you (or a child) is studying for a standardized test. I know it has to do with the U.N.>>>blecchh! Warning: it's pretty addictive, at least for me. I got up to level 45, but hovered most of the time around 43. Do you think the scale goes to 100? I can't imagine... Cheers!

Rachel & I just got to vocabulary level 40 and donated 1300 grains of rice.
We liked that the site will pronounce the words.
We wished they used correct words in a sentence!
Rachel's favorite word was chamfron. Not familiar with it?
Look it up!

Hey,
Here's another free e-book site, but these titles look a bit more current and may NOT be available in print at the library.
There is a children's section as well...Link: http://www.wowio.com/index.asp
WOWIO is a new kind of online bookstore that enables readers to download ebooks for free, using commercial sponsorships to compensate authors and publishers. Readers get free ebooks. Sponsors get a powerful new channel to communicate their message to precisely the people they want to reach. Publishers get a new means of distributing their books, expanding their readership, and monetizing their intellectual property.
An ebook is an electronic book. It looks and works just like a print book except that you read it on a computer, mobile device, or ebook reader.
Set up a WOWIO account and then download free ebooks. That's all there is to it. If you don't have Acrobat Reader, download the latest version from Adobe for free.
First, find the books you want and click on the "Add to Download Queue" button. When you are ready to get your books, click on the QUEUE button at the top right of the page. The Download Queue shows a numbered list of the books you chose. You can get the top three books in your Download Queue each day, not to exceed 30 per month. You can change the position of books by changing their corresponding numbers (left of title) and clicking Update.
Click the GET EBOOKS button when you are ready to get your books. Download buttons will appear when your books are ready for download (this usually takes a couple of minutes). You can wait for the Download buttons to appear, or you can come back later. An email will be sent to you when your books are ready. Clicking the Download buttons will save each ebook on your computer.
Enjoy!
Love,
