Special computer programs can help children learn to read and may entice them to want to read with colorful graphics, interactive games and virtually unlimited on-line resources. Many libraries offer software on loan for use on home computers. Surf the Internet at the library. More and more of the latest information we need for our jobs, education, health and other needs can be found on-line. Ask your librarian to help you find Internet sites of special interest for children.
Many libraries offer their own sites for children.
There are also sites on popular TV shows, dinosaurs, children's magazines stories on-line and much more. Go to the library with your child to supervise her computer use. Remember that the library must provide services for all ages. It's up to you to determine what is appropriate for your own child. Log-on to your library's home page from your home computer.
