Children always are drawn to the library copies of National Geographic Kids' Almanac. The almanac is colorful, engaging, has great photos and illustrations, is informative, and presents information in easy to read chunks for even the most reluctant readers.

We buy books my 9 year old has the amazon book box that gives you 2 hardcover books for her age group for $20 a box come every other month, my 12 year old has a subscription box of art supplies for her, my oldest has her youtube channel and is taking a course from coursera on what she is hoping to do when she goes to college on a year. My youngest I buy crafts, print worksheets and work with her on her reading. My 15 year old is learning python in a class we bought from Udemy.
