Competency 9: Internet

TumbleBook Library is a password protected website that school libraries may purchase. The link I have chosen provides an opportunity for teachers and librarians to take a tour of the program which helps demonstrate all the learning tools available. TumbleBooks offers students a chance to select audio books with animation. Once the story is complete the student may take a quiz, play vocabulary games, put puzzles together and many more activities focusing on the book. TumbleBooks provides AR books which is especially effective for kindergarten students who are not quite ready to read independently before taking an AR quiz. I chose to share this website because I have found it successful in my classroom and library. My students are excited to read books and play games on TumbleBooks. One of my topics of interest is encouraging children to read and providing an environment that fosters a love of reading. This website provides an alternate and fun form of reading for students. I found TumbleBook Library through the Lycos Internet Search Engine. I searched tumble books and the first result was the website I needed.
