Read Me Stories: Children's Books
Good points: • These books are read aloud, using a clear voice. • Words are highlighted • Many of the books are FREE
 * Check out these apps! They might be a great option for Independent Story Listening. Because words are highlighted, these books really support literacy.**

Not So Great: • Most of the books are appropriate only for younger students (under 8) • Voices are also somewhat childish

**This set can be great for independent story listening. You can select books, then record them. Some are free, but most have a price attached.**
Good points: • YOU get to read them aloud. That means that you can go s-l-o-w-l-y! If you want to use the book for shared reading, you can even ask questions and include a pause. • You can set up a library for students to pick from • A few of the books are FREE

Not So Great: • Many of the books are appropriate only for younger students (under 8) • Words are not highlighted

//TIP:// I put a PostIt over the webcam on my computer. That means that my picture is NOT shown. For this purpose, it's helpful to have only the audio. The video is still there, but it's black, so not too distracting.

Enjoy!!
