BookFLIX

BookFLIX by Scholastic is a great resource we will be able to use starting August 1, 2011.  This resource helps children to build a love of literacy through the pairing of fiction and non-fiction interactive Ebooks.  The words are highlighted as they are read aloud so students have the opportunity to follow along.

Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson  is one of the stories featured in this resource that is also in our district’s reading curriculum.  Students would have the opportunity to listen to and watch the story online and then to read a related non-fiction text about bear cubs. 
This resource will be a great addition to our reading centers.  Students will have the opportunity to read both fiction and non-fiction texts, play educational games, and read about their favorite writers.  They may also explore the web in a safe way by choosing pre-selected links related to the topics they have been reading about.  For more information about this wonderful resource, go to: http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/pages/uploaded_files/BookFlix12pg.pdf or http://www.iowaaeaonline.org/pages/uploaded_files/BookFlix1pg.pdf.
