National Geographic Young Explorers - FREE K-2 or ELL. Numerous digital issues of National Geographic for kids. Each beautiful issue is not only great for practicing mouse skills, but when the speaker icon is clicked on each page, the text is read out loud.
Each issue also includes lesson plans and worksheets for teachers (and parents) for activities related to the magazine. More titles and content are added each month. Great resource for independent or group work.
