Hey, we were compensated for this post-all thoughts are our own. This is giveaway will excite parents for lots of reasons. We’ve partnered with Capstone Publishing to give away 5 free book downloads via their CapReader app on Apple devices. These are for 5 free titles including, Spelling Queen, Too Shy for Show-and-Tell, Zeke Meeks vs. the Stinkin’ Science Fair, You Can Write Cool Poems and Bus Ride Bully. The books are great for young readers and the total package has a value of over $35, plus we’re giving away 20 of them-so your odd on winning are great.
Reading to your child is important. We’ve read to ours since the first day that they arrived home and still read to them for about 25 minutes before bedtime. For several years I was an ESL teacher. During that time I learned lots about education but the underlying educational lesson was this: we listen for two years before we start speaking.
The experience that your child has during that under two year time period is invaluable. When you enjoy reading, they enjoy reading. Our almost six year old loves reading sight words. He puts them together in beginner books to form sentences and sense of accomplishment in him glows after he does so.
To claim your Capstone books you would need to set up an account at Capstone Young Readers, download the books using the code and put the CapReader app on your iPads. Note: this is only good on Apple devices.
Bonus, there are thousands of books for young readers aged 5-8 on Capstone. Thousands of them. They first came on our radar because they publish the early chapter books for the DC Universe. Regardless of what genre or interest your young reader has there’s something in there for them and this giveaway is certain to keep them stoked for reading and education.
Reading is fun!
reading is thinking!
PS love Capstone!!
My son is quite the little reader these days. He just entered 1st grade and I am amazed by how much his reading has taken off. We visit the bookstore often, use a couple of reading apps but have yet to down load any books.
I am sure he would be excited to win some free books.
