Reader Rabbit

Last night Nora had a Daisy meeting at their library. In last year's routine, her mom would entertain Aaron during the meetings by letting him use the Reader Rabbit module on the computer, which he absolutely loves. This year, though, she's helping with the meetings.

So, I got the joy of meeting Aaron for his computer session. So fun to sit with the little guy, normally a talking, jumping typical boy, while he sat quietly, absolutely absorbed.

His mom commented the other day that in past years kids liked the "toy" laptops with various add-on programs. Now with iPAD's and smaller laptops, the kids want to use the real thing and the toys don't interest them. Aaron mentioned that he didn't want to try a certain module because he'd used that one at "school" yesterday.

As a result of last night's library session, I have a new Cincinnati Public Library card. I wonder
what goodies that will bring. I've heard that they have check-outs for books for Kindles and similar devices. And a huge wonderful library downtown, one of the nation's busiest.
