Literacy Gifts for Kids Who Love to Read

We give books as gifts to our girls every Christmas and birthday, and this year I have also been looking for gifts that further encourage the development of all areas of literacy – reading, writing, speaking and listening. When you go looking, there are lots of fun games and resources that engage children with literacy and I hope this list of Gifts for Kids Who Love to Read will provide you with inspiration for adding language and literacy to your Christmas gift list!
