From home, I can enter my library card and get access. Bookflix pairs a fiction and non-fiction story. For example, "Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type" is paired with "Let's Visit a Dairy Farm" The fiction book is presented as a video, while the non-fiction book is done as just pages to read. Each has a "read along" feature.<br /><br />Now I am getting to why I am telling you all of this. Some of the books are available in Spanish. So, the kids could hear someone read the book in Spanish and they can follow along with the words at the bottom of the page. In the non-fiction one, you can read it yourself, or put the read-along feature on and a Spanish speaker will read while you follow along with the highlighted word.<br /><br />I think one of the interesting aspects of this is that you could become familiar with a book in English and then do it in Spanish. I am not a language teacher, but I would think that would help when you are trying to understand the Spanish.<br /><br />Anyway, I don't know if your library has it, but maybe it could be suggested. If they have a good Friends group, maybe they would be willing to pay for it to benefit the entire community.<br /><br />Sarahdstbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640426092185071874noreply@blogger.com
