Resources

These are some websites that I highly recommend to check out for further learning.

Storyline Online

Home

Full of read-aloud stories, even picky readers should be able to find something to listen to!

NatGeo Kids (Youtube)

I have a special spot in my heart for NatGeo Kids. Their website also has lots of great learning resources, though they might be challenging:

Oxford Owl

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Oxford Owl has tons of free books for kids! It does require an account to download.

PBS Kids (Youtube)

If your child prefers TV shows, PBS Kids has literally thousands to choose from.


Other Book lists: (I recommend 2nd grade level books to most 1st graders)

https://k-12readinglist.com/reading-lists-for-elementary-school-children/reading-list-2nd-grade-children-age-7-8/

These are a bit more challenging in terms of both themes and language.

https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/list/display/72113334/72841387

Accessible and fun books for most 1st graders.

A very thorough list that has been organized beautifully.
