Digital Books

On June 1, 2009, in Special Education, Uncategorized, by Samuel Sennott

I believe in good teaching, good research, and combining it with finding innovative ways to accomplish our goals.  In this time of exponential possibility, getting back to basics and working from “good seed” so to speak, is always welcome.  Here are some books to check out and share.  Note:  this is easy and fun to do in PowerPoint or whatever authoring software you like, Intellitools Classroom Suite, Clicker 5, Boardmaker, etc…

Do you have enough books?  Would you like some more?  How about links out to over a thousand books?  Here is a books launcher that was presented as part of the ISAAC 2008 pre-conference presentation I collaborated on with Caroline Ramsey Musselwhite titled, Writing Books for Beginning Readers . . . and Using Them to Support Real Reading.

If you enjoy this resource and have other book websites, please email them to me at samuel.sennott@gmail.com.

Also, it is good to consider Dr. David Koppenhaver’s feedback on this resource that it links out to a wide variety of levels and types of books from enrichment, to transitional, to conventional.  So use it appropriately.  Enjoy.

  1. Over a thousand? Looks like Tar Heel Reader alone now has over 4,000 titles! Seriously, the Online Bookshelf is a marvelous resource. The range of reading materials and the alternative forms of access to those materials make it especially valuable. –Paul

    Thanks for sharing the accessible books launcher! I like it! Tikatok (http://www.tikatok.com/), Mixbook (http://www.mixbook.com/), and Myebook (http://www.myebook.com/) are other websites for creating books. Pre-made video books can be viewed at SqoolTube (http://www.sqooltools.com/edvideos/videobooks/index.html).
