Projectable Books and the Smart Board

Projectable books are another great resource to use with a Smart Board! Shena Ashcraft (1st grade teacher at Elda) asked if I would show the 1st grade team how to use them with the Smart Board. I had not seen them before and took a few minutes to learn about them. I'm glad I did! Here are the basics:

Projectable Books
Tools for Small Group and Whole Class Instruction
Reading A-Z integrates technology and reading curriculum with leveled readers and benchmark books formatted for digital projectors and interactive white boards. Projectable Book Tips guide educators to meet literacy instruction goals for fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and more. Plus, our companion, printable format extends lessons with leveled books teachers send home for student practice. (http://www.readinga-z.com/book/projectable-books.php)

They are a fantastic way to share books to the whole class! Plus, there are several fun tools that make teaching and learning easier. You can draw and/or highlight over any of the pages. Plus, you can use the reveal and cover tools to show/hide only certain areas of each page. The software is super easy to use and it is web-based so you don't have to download anything! I highly recommend checking these out. For more information, check out:
