Can I just say a few words about Librivox? It has become one of my favorite resourses on the internet! I can download many books on the Ambleside Online Curriculum for ds. This is very helpful since his reading level isn't anywhere near his comprehension level! Did I mention it saves my voice? I don't really like reading out loud. I love the stories, but my voice just can't handle reading EVERYTHING to ds. Here are some of the gems I've found there for this year.
Age of Fable
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Kim by Rudyard Kipling
Lamb's Shakespeare Tales
Fairyland of Science
The Boy's Life of Mark Twain (Our substitution)
