A letter I received from "TumbleBookLibrary:"
"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about a great way to merge technology and literacy in your classrooms– include ebooks in your curriculum! TumbleBookLibrary (www.TumbleBookLibrary.com) is an online collection of animated, talking, picture books which is used by over 7,000 public libraries and schools across North America.
In Florida, the following school districts offer TumbleBookLibrary district-wide: Miami-Dade, Seminole, Palm Beach, Broward, Polk, Sarasota, Seminole, Manatee and Alachua. Other districts such as Citrus County, Clay County and Collier County (to name a few) also have schools subscribing. Have your school join us too!
The TumbleBookLibrary has a selection of children's favorite story books. Old time favorites such as "The Paper Bag Princess" by Robert Munsch, as well as fairy tales such as "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Old Mother Hubbard" come to life in an educational and interactive way. Other titles include: "Diary of a Worm," “How I Became a Pirate,” "Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10," "One Duck Stuck," "Tops and Bottoms", and many more.
Our TumbleBookLibrary website is perfect for schools! We have a special link for educator resources with lesson plans, crosswords, puzzles, book reports, and much more. In addition, our online books have various features which help emergent or struggling readers such as "word helper" feature which sounds out the specific words, or text which follows along to the narration. We also has books in other languages such as Spanish and French. The website is customizable to fit your own needs!
