[AAACE-NLA] Holiday literacy gifts? [faked-from]

[Brown, Charlene]

Interactive software is a great gift. I am giving a $29.95 (single user)
piece of software that allows anyone (even lower level literacy adults and
their children) to develop a short book and print it off a computer.  It is
elementary level easy, but fits so many uses.  A company trainer could take
digital pictures of a process and detail its completion. I'm thinking of
doing one on fractions.  A child could write their own picture book and
publish it.  A mom (with high or low skills) could make a book or scrap book
for their child.  (I am using it for this purpose--A Year in the Life of
Jamie.)  I am in no way connected with this product except that I have had
so much fun with it and can see its potential as a fun learning activity.
For Christmas, all our teachers are getting licenses for the computers in
their centers.  The best thing is its cost.  Unbelievable at $195 for 10
licenses!  You can get a free trial at

OK, advocates--

For holiday gift giving--what are some suggestions you have for giving
literacy?  I can think of the obvious, like books (child and adult) magazine
subscriptions (child and adult) newspaper subscriptions; what else is
anybody doing?  Brilliant and creative ideas?  

Thanks.

Andrea
