Read quietly with your child or put the ebook in play and watch and listen as these amazing ebooks read-aloud in both English and Spanish! Follow along with word highlighting and adjust the reading speed to promote oral language skills, vocabulary, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension. And your kids will love our latest features: (1) tap a word and hear it read aloud; and (2) tap the animals and listen to their calls of the wild as they roar, chirp, and howl. We have also added sounds to things that you might expect to make noise, like gavels banging, waves crashing, lightning striking, fire crackling, etc.
Each ebook has a “fun, cuddle factor” so that reading can be for just the joy of reading or build in a few extra minutes to work with your children on the underlying science and math. Find a 3-6 page “For Creative Minds” section in the back of each book with easy-to-understand activities specifically designed so that parents and adults can be the “teachers” long after their schooling days. Parents and teachers are given the tools they need to answer the “why” questions. Activities are designed to engage children and are so much more than a list of “fun facts” often with matching, sequencing, and true/false questions to develop critical thinking skills. These activities make each book so much more than just a picture book…the books become tools to get readers (the children and the adults in their lives) excited about the underlying subjects and to become a “launch pad” for more discussion and learning.
