blessedx5 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 and do NOT have a laptop, how do you do it? I only have a desktop and cannot imagine sitting here reading to everybody. Just wondering.. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Actually I do read all the AO selections to the kids from my desktop. They just sack out on the floor beside me. My 4th grade ds reads alot from the desktop. It's just how it has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I now have an eReader for this reason. Some things (like stories online at mainlesson) I read from the desktop, we just gather around. The kids either sit on my lap or grab their little chairs. Audiobooks from librovox if I am tired of reading aloud. Then we can hang out in the living room. Longer selections, like Parables from Nature, I still print. Even with the eReader, it's to hard to break it up, and they are usually to long for one sitting. I have a brother B&W laser printer, off-brand toner from Amazon (always from the same company) and Wal-Mart paper, so this isn't to cost-prohibitive for me.

My 4th grade ds reads alot from the desktop. It's just how it has to be. :iagree: Same here until about a year ago when I would borrow my brothers MAC. Now I was able to get a laptop from a company when they upgraded for 25.00! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I print, or I bring the kids up to the office, where our desktop is, and I read from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelotmom Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I use my cellphone - a droid, so it has a relatively large screen, but not nearly as big as an ereader. I've been doing that on either a PDA or phone for 10 years now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
