Not really another Mac tip, but this is a website worth mentioning if you have young kids.
The site is starfall.com and it is an education site for kids learning to read. I used to go through the site with my oldest daughter until she learned how to use the mouse herself. Now she does it on her own.
Starfall.com is free to use. There are no memberships to buy or donations requested. There is a store to purchase education toys and maybe that's how they fund the site.
Regardless, this is an excellent resource not only for parents, but for teachers as well. I highly recommend it to any parent with a child learning how to read.
