Try some of these sites: A Guide for Parents: How do I know a good early reading program when I see one? http://www.ed.gov/inits/rrrl/guide.html America Reads America Reads -- parents, teachers, college students, care givers, volunteers, business people, children -- united with one goal. The America Reads Challenge calls on all Americans to help ensure that every American child can read well and independently by the end of the 3rd grade. http://www.ed.gov/inits/americareads/ Family Education Network Does your child hate to read?
