Netflix for Children’s eBooks
Parents and teachers love this “Netflix for Children’s Books.” FarFaria offers over 1000 ebooks for your children. Each story comes to your mobile device as a colorfully illustrated book that they can flip through, read on their own, or have read to them. For ages 2 to 9.
“I introduced FarFaria to my kindergarten students last year and they LOVED it! In fact, they begged for reading time! During reading time on FarFaria they were focused and engaged on reading. As a teacher I love the features in FarFaria including reading levels listed for each book. My favorite feature is that the text highlights word by word as it is read. This is so helpful for budding readers. Most reading apps highlight a sentence at a time which doesn’t help with specific word identification. FarFaria is the best reading app and well worth the cost!” -Amy B.

“History Unboxed was a lot of fun to open with my children. My older son couldn’t get enough of the activities, and I love that this subscription box does such a great job at exposing my kids to history. If your kid is between ages 5-13 and they love history, you should definitely try this out.” – Ariana.

Ultimate K-12 Curriculum Guide
“I have been homeschooling since 2002 and I am currently homeschooling the two youngest of six. I’ve tried a LOT of homeschool curriculum products over the years, and quite frankly this is the best value available in a secular curriculum package and it’s easy on the parent. I’m homeschooling two kids and it’s very easy to have them read the lesson and complete the assignments independently, then later the teacher’s guides make it easy on me to review their work and correct it. The content is interesting and relates to the real world in a way that makes sense to the kids, especially the math problems. You also can’t beat the price. I’m shocked that this curriculum isn’t better known. You will pay a lot more for comparable products that won’t have the quality this one has, and I’ve done the research and spent the money to be able to say that with authority.” – Judith
“I purchased Kindergarten math and language arts for my daughter and we have had a great experience with it. She is learning so much. I supplement with lots of hands-on activities so she doesn’t burn out on worksheets.”- Educents customer
