Now that the kiddos are back at school, are they reading on a nightly basis? Help them get into the reading habit by encouraging regular D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read) time. And if they’re hooked on their hi-tech gadgets, you may want to introduce them to MeeGenius, a digital home for children’s book apps, both classic and new.
And get this: MeeGenius, the brainchild of local mom Wandy Hoh, has just teamed up with Sesame Street in an exclusive partnership to publish six books–for children up to age eight–throughout this month. The first, which published Wednesday, is Celebrate School: First Day, and is available for free until Tuesday, September 18! To take advantage of this great offer, use the coupon code “Sesame” at meegenius.com/coupon.
Other books will debut every Wednesday (mark your calendars!) throughout the month, so be sure to check back weekly. Titles will include Count to 10, Elmo and Abby’s Wacky Weather Day, and Elmo and The ABCs of Cookies. So why not take your digital reader (and your kid!) on adventures (think counting cabs, braving a rainy day in Central Park, nibbling on cookies at CRUMBS) and read your way across the city? Best of all, MeeGenius adds features to the digital stories, such as word highlighting and audio playback, as well as questions and interactive fun to engage young minds.
The books can be downloaded to the user’s MeeGenius library and are priced at $3.99-$4.99. For more information, visit meegenius.com
