| The
StoryBook CD-ROM (Mac/Win)
The
StoryBook is a charming and delightful animated storybook full of
cute
wholesome characters that help your child learn to read. The stories
come from the Reading Lesson book.The
stories start simple, just a few simple words and just a few lines but
enough to engage and teach.
Unlike
other programs, the stories in the StoryBook are not automatically read
to the child. We want the child to make an effort to read by him or herself.
So each word is clickable. Although
we have made every effort to make this program entertaining and engaging,
it is not a game. It is a teaching tool where entertainment is secondary.
There
are forty short stories on this CD. Most are just two or three tiny
pages,
similar to what you see here. The complexity gradually increases and
the word sets introduced keep up with what is taught in the Reading
Lesson
program.
All
stories can be printed and when stapled together in little booklets make
a wonderful project for the child. Child should then be encouraged to
copy out the stories by hand.
