mo2 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Has anyone found any easy-reader type books on the Kindle? My 8yo suspected dyslexic like to use the Kindle because I can make the font bigger, but I'm having trouble finding books easy enough for her to read. She is probably reading at about a 1st grade level. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo2 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 If you search around you can find older free books/readers that might work out. For example this site lists some: http://www.robinsoncurriculum.com/view/rc/booklevel.htm All of those books can be found for free either on Amazon or the project Gutenberg site. Also, I noticed that the Kindle store has a children's section. Thanks for that link. I have been browing through the children's section at the Kindle store but it is slow going. For example, in the 4 to 8 yr section, there are over 2000 books. And many of them are meant to be read to the child and therefore have words in them that she wouldn't be able to read herself. Still looking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I've been thinking about getting a few kindles for my kids. I have a DX and hubby has my old 2nd generation. I did notice the other day that CBD has a lot of the Step into reading books as ebooks, but I haven't looked to see what the format is, maybe some of them could be read with the kindle. never mind the cbd site says they are not kindle compatible.

min Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I noticed a book the other day on Project Gutenberg had an option of downloading in Kindle format, so maybe have a look around there? Min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 :lurk5: I have a DX also and was thinking of getting at least one more (not DX) for the kids to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
