A new memory card game that teaches Dolch and High Frequency Sight words to get your child reading, having fun and feeling confident. In addition to helping preschool and Kindergarten students learn to read, The Reading Game is also extremely effective in helping kids who are struggling with reading up through the 4th grade. The game starts with a simple fast action-memory card game that teaches five words at a time. These five words are then reinforced using picture flashcards with simple phrases including capitalization and punctuation. The game also includes content rich storybooks which feature the 30 words learned through flashcard game play. After repeated play, children will be able to read the entire storybook unassisted. Once the six decks of cards and the six storybooks have been completed, the child will have a reading vocabulary of 180 words, many of them Dolch and High Frequency words.

Sofia promises Maddi she won’t tell so she sneaks food for Maddi in her bag and discovers that, while fish and eggs are good for kids, they aren’t very good for backpacks.  Despite Sofia’s very best efforts, Maddi’s fridge is still empty, but she is determined to find a way to help her best friend. 10% of profits donated to help fight childhood hunger.  (Ages 4-8)


unicorns Waiting for Unicorns
Talia McQuinn’s world is shattered after losing her mother to cancer.

Talia’s father leaves on an expedition shortly after their arrival, leaving her in the care of Sura, an Inuit woman who’s lived her entire life in the frozen landscape. Although this new lifestyle is absolutely foreign to Talia, one element strikes a chord in her broken heart: traditional storytelling. A tale about Narwhals, or “unicorns of the sea” unlocks something in Talia that had been buried since her mother’s death: her ability to hope.  (Ages 10 & up)
