Thank you for providing a list of great resources for children. Could you add LessonBuzz to this? I have spent three years in the writing and developing of LessonBuzz, a K-6 Literacy program for iPads. I have written 200 original pieces for children across the K-6 levels, all appropriate for age and ability. They are humorous, informative and biographical. Best wishes for Summer reading, Marie Cullen
