Review: The Ruckus Reader

1 Comment
Ruckus Reader Library

The Ruckus Reader is a breakthrough learning program,a unique series of digital
storybooks designed to help your child practice important reading skills AND keep you up to date on your child’s progress. All of the stories and interactive activities are developed by educational experts to adhere to national educational standards.

Eva and I were given a full subscription to the Ruckus Reader that included the full library of books. Overall we love it. Eva asks if she can play with my iPad and chooses the Ruckus Reader much of the time. I like this because she is starting to really become more interested in reading and if a reader program like this is her first choice than all the better. The Ruckus Reader gathers some fantastic brands together to help your child learn to read. They have My Little Pony, Sea World, Crayola, Transformers Prime and also classic stories like John Henry, Pecos Bill and more. There are multiple levels of stories from children beginning to read to older readers who need reinforcement and help. Continue reading Review: The Ruckus Reader →

Eva is right on the cusp of learning to read. She is interested in reading and we’ve worked together with different apps, different books and more. She’s smart and wants to get reading and I bet many other kids are excited about learning to read as well. PBS Kids has some fun programs happening this summer to help children and their families get reading. I’m doing the iVillage PBS KIDS Summer Reading Community Challenge and that includes a Summer Reading party with Eva’s class at school. I think they are going to love it.

This coming Tuesday I head to Colorado overnight to the PBS Annual Meeting where I will learn about some upcoming shows and get to meet producers of many of the shows that we already love on PBS. I am really looking forward to this.

Here is a Press Release on all that PBS Kids is doing and their partnerships as well. Continue reading Press Release: PBS KIDS Kicks Off Summer Learning with the SUPER WHY! Around the World Adventure →
