eBook-Rocket Learns to Read

When I saw this as an eBook, I got so excited! I love this story! If you can't tell why, look at the picture on the right. I have a spotted dog named Rocky, so I can totally make a text to self connection with this story!

Each time, when you first open the ebook, a  new word appears on the chalkboard for a student to read. If you click on it, the word is read aloud. You have two options: read yourself or have it read aloud to you. The neat thing is either way the story is read, you can touch a word and it says it outloud to hear.

There is not too much text on each page, and there is no option to have the pages turned for you. This definitely helps to keep a reader focus and not get too distracted.  Some pages have automatic animation, like Rocket running, but it is not too much. If you click on Rocket or bird on the pages,the most they do is turn their head or wag the tail.

On the pages with the banner of the alphabet, you can click on the letters and the letter pops up with something that begins with that letter. Also, on the pages with the chalkboard, you can click on the chalkboard and the txt is read aloud.

The coolest and my most favorite part are the pages with Rocket running and writing letters. You can trace over what he is writing and practice forming the letters and words yourself! You can then go back to the main menu when the story is over and play some games. Definitely an eBook to try!
