The
Library’s digital collection isn’t just for adults anymore. Along with audiobooks and eBooks for children,
the Library also offers literacy resources to support emerging and reluctant
readers. BookFLIX is a new addition to
our digital offerings that is specifically designed to support a child’s
interest in reading. It pairs classic
fictional video storybooks with related nonfiction books to strengthen a love
of reading and learning for children in PreK to 3rd grade. The digital library is quite extensive with
110 popular video storybooks paired with a related nonfiction eBook, such as the
popular “Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type” storybook video paired with a nonfiction
eBook about cows. BookFLIX will help
early readers develop and practice essential reading skills while introducing
them to a world of knowledge and exploration. Tumblebooks is another digital resource offering
hundreds of popular storybooks and chapter books. Both of these quality resources allow
children to read the eBooks on their own or choose to read along. Some
of the benefits of the audio component include helping all children build
fluency skills, improve sight word recognition, and build comprehension. These digital resources are another way of
introducing the love of reading to children.
