Gifts That Promote Literacy Have you ever considered how precious the gift of literacy is? We often take the ability to read and write for granted, but many people will never experience the joy of getting lost in a good book. This holiday season celebrate the privilege of reading by giving gifts that promote literacy. Red Apple Reading has compiled a list of presents that are not only literary friendly but are also a lot of fun!

 

  1. Wooden ABC Blocks – Let’s start with an oldie, but a goodie! Small kids love learning and building with ABC blocks.
  2. Journals – Journals with fun covers and bright colors encourage kids to get their creative writing juices flowing!
  3. Boggle Junior – Combine playing and learning. Kids will love playing Boggle Junior on Christmas afternoon.
  4. ABC Puzzles – If your child is a hands on learner, he will enjoy constructing letter and word puzzles.
  5. MagnatabMagnatab alphabet boards will help your little writer learn to form letters. The magnetic stylus and bead board are perfect for kinesthetic learners!
  6. Magazine Subscriptions – This is the gift that keeps giving all year! Once a month your kiddo will receive a new gift via the postman.
  7. Dry Erase Board / Chalk Board – Let your little one write and erase until his heart is content with a dry erase or chalk board this Christmas. Don’t forget the chalk or markers!
  8. Books – Make sure there is at least one book under the tree for your kiddo to unwrap this season. We have it on good authority that Santa is a big fan of reading 😉 Need some suggestions? Visit our Pinterest board, Nothing But Books for Kids, and you’re sure to find the perfect title for your bookworm.
  9. Magnetic Letters – Because they keep your kiddo occupied while you prepare supper, magnetic letters are a present for parents and children alike!
  10. E-Readers – Are you running out of nooks for all your child’s books? Why not purchase an E-Reader for your kiddo? They can enjoy a full library of books and you don’t have to find space for the extra reading material!
  11. Book Lights – Encourage night reading with attachable book lights.
  12. Rory’s Story Cubes – This creative story generating dice game is fun for all ages!
  13. Online Software and Apps – Last, but not least, online software and apps are the perfect gift for tech-savvy kids. Visit Red Apple Reading to purchase a membership today! Children will love the fun games and parents will love the results!
