Discover reading resources that will keep  your children  reading and learning  while away from school. Beanstack  is an online program that students can use to log the titles of the books that they have read.         Epic! for Kids is an online library with 35,000 available titles for K-6 readers though I have found older readers enjoy the titles also.  There are some read-aloud titles as well as videos on different subjects.  Some of the titles have short quizzes attached to them, but most are for pure enjoyment for reading.  Some grades have registered their students.  Here is the link to the login page:  Student login for Epic .    Teaching Books  is an online collection of children's books that is part of the Alabama Virtual Library and can be accessed through Clever .    Children's   eReading Room   is the public library's online library.  ...
