25+ Gift Ideas For Learning To Read

It is that time of year when we scramble to find Christmas presents that a meaningful and thoughtful. This is what led me to create this gift list of handpicked phonics and reading products. Not only are these reading products great as gifts, but they are also perfect for classroom settings(if your budget allows). Some of these products come highly recommended by my Home-school pals too.

Maybe you are looking for guidance to teach your child to read or perhaps you are looking of ways to assist your teacher friend in their workplace? How about gifting a learning tool to the classroom? Maybe your child’s teacher doesn’t need another coffee mug but instead would appreciate some hands-on learning games and products so that they can continue to teach young children to read and write.

We have hand-selected 25 products that are great learning games and tools and you can see the full list here. Make sure you pop back as we add more and more products as they become available on the market. We would also LOVE for you to share your product reviews and suggestions too, make sure to leave a comment below if you know a product that is worthy of a mention to this list!.

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks.

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?
