Literacy Sites for Fun & Learning

As a group of educational tools for furthering your child’s ability in another language, I think it might be a great resource, however as a substitute for a parent absolutely not. There’s something special about your child seeing the words as you read them and pointing at the pictures that can’t be replaced.

Dial a Story (Toronto Public Library) ... www.tpl.ca/dial-a-story

Dial-A-Story is exactly what it sounds like. You call a number, enter the age of the child and choose between stories offered in 15 different languages.
