If you have had the good fortune of visiting McIntyre’s (one of the best independent bookstores I have ever seen), then you know it is the ultimate browsing ground.  I stopped by to pick up a book for a friend this week and happened to notice a clever new product called “Mark-My-Time” – a digital bookmark!  With the new school year upon us, one of the biggest challenges facing busy parents is how to monitor and record a child’s daily reading goals.  This bookmark lets each child record their reading minutes at the touch of a button making the process fun as well as educational.  Reading just 20 minutes a day for one year exposes your child to one million words! 

(And, oh…. I couldn’t help but think what a great stocking stuffers these would be for sudoku and crossword puzzle fanatics!)
