- Interactive electronic storybooks are a unique learning resource for young readers.
- They can be used for children that have identified reading problems or a new reader that has no difficulties.
- They work by combining words and pictures of a book with sound effects and graphic animations.
- Interactive Electronic Storybooks allow children to hear a story read aloud as they watch it unfold on the computer screen. Children are able to interact with the characters and the scenes by clicking a mouse.
- Some of the advantages of Storybooks are the visual elements create an engaging mood that appeal to children. Reading comprehension skills can be improved because those skills are a focal point of many electronic books.
- Some of the disadvantages are children may become dependent on the computer to pronounce unknown words instead of trying to figure them out on their own. Cued animations and sound effects can hinder understanding because children have a hard time recalling the story.
Would you as a teacher use Interactive Storybooks in the classroom?
I would use Interactive Storybooks in the classroom but wouldn't rely on that solely for reading books in the classroom.
