WHERE DO YOU BEGIN finding kids free books from our Kids Free Books Downloads Directory?, and with starting and reading your child’s book library?
Picture books - younger ones will still enjoy picture books like the ones below and will probably be able to read many to themselves. This isn't 'babyish', it's a deeply satisfying pleasure that fosters reading confidence. Look out for more demanding picture books for older children.
Storybooks - new readers are often proud when they start reading their first 'chapter' books. Choose ones that aren't too long, have short chapters with not too many words on the page, and lots of supporting pictures from the selection of free kids books to download at the bottom of the page. Remember to praise your child as s/he reads.
Myths and legends - fairytales and Classic stories like our free kids books will still be popular and you can introduce other traditional stories such as simple re-tellings of Greek or Roman myths, Norse legends or folktales from other countries.
Reading aloud - even though your child may now be reading on her own, she'll still enjoy having a story read to her. Reading in this way keeps you close and allows experimentation with a more challenging story, a complex plot or long words.
School reading books - your child's school reading scheme will probably have come to an end by now, but she may still bring home books that the teacher would like her to read with you.
Reference books - at school, your child will gradually learn to obtain information from reference books like the free kids study book downloads in our Learning Directory page. To encourage this, you may want to invest in a few basic reference books for your home.
Keep your child interested in reading by visiting bookshops and libraries. Look for books you know will be of interest (football annuals, film tie-ins, joke collections, craft books etc) and buy books and book tokens as presents.
Simply “right button click” your mouse on the links below and select “save target as” to your Desktop from the window that opens, to download these .pdf books to your computer.
Otherwise, simply click on the link as usual and the book will open in your browser, but be patient opening the book this way, as books with lots of pictures can take a while to open up on “dial up” modems.
Then if you decide you do want to keep a copy, look at the top of the book’s Adobe toolbar, you can just “Save a copy” as usual to create a copy on your computer.
There is a huge selection of books at the bottom of this Directory from little kids “Readers” to the Classics we read at school, with Parenting Books and “Make your own…” series of recipe books, as well as cookbooks and Kids magic & games books. ENJOY!

A child development specialist once told me that if you can read a book to your child in less than three minutes, you have wasted your time.
Real quality reading time should include your child asking questions, pointing at pictures, and interacting. As all parents, grandparents, and caregivers know, our kids tend to pick the same book to read over and over and over. Let's face it, reading can get boring for the adults! Here are a few tips on ways that parents can keep reading interesting while helping children build important developmental skills.
Use Animated Voices Read the story using a different voice for each character. My father read the J.R.R. Tolkien series to us as children and his Golum and Bilbo Baggins voices were the best!
Leave out words When reading, leave out words or parts of sentences for your child to fill in.
Read with accents If you find yourself getting bored with a book, start reading with an English, French or Spanish accent!
Sing the story Make up a tune and start singing. If you aren't good at making up tunes, pick a familiar classical or folk song.
Change the words In reading my kids' favorite books, I keep my own attention by changing the main characters name constantly throughout the story. My kids find it a fun game to correct me.
For older kids try changing the sentence or word at the end of every page to see if my kids can catch the mistake. Start with outrageous words (Hippopotamus or Pickle work well) that have nothing to do with the story at first but make it harder as they catch on.
Read the book backwards This won't work for all books, but it's lots of fun to try!
Make up a new story A good children's book should tell a story that makes sense without the printed words. Help your child make up a new story that fits the pictures.
Word search If the kids know their alphabet, teach them a simple word, then have them find or count how many times the word is used in the story.
Whatever way you read - make it fun!
