As I continue to implement iPads into my classroom, I am always trying to find good, quality stories for my students to interact with while using the iPads. I thought I would share some of the resources that we have been using when incorporating e-books on the iPads.
Collins Big Cat
These ebooks are not only my favorite but my students' favorites as well. Each page has fun and interactive components. Students can have it read to them, read to themself or even record their reading. If they choose to have it read to them, each word is highlighted as it is read aloud. The best part is they are free. Below are a list of the titles.
In The Garden Creator Story
The Steam Train Story Creator
The Farmer's Lunch Story Creator
Around the World Story Creator
Playing Story Creator
At the Dump Story Creator
It Was a Cold Dark Night Story Creator
My Bike Ride Story Creator

Find out about their free school accounts. Multiple books to choose from. Students can access them at home on a computer as well as on an iPad and iPhone. Did I mention it is free? When students decide on a book, they can chose read the book on their own or have it read to them. The best part of having the book read to you is that each word is highlighted as it is read.

Storia
This is an app that is created and managed by Scholastic. The short video below explains it best. I continue to accumulate bonus points from my class book orders. I have been using these points to purchase new e-books for my students to read.
One of my favorite features of Storia is the dictionary. Once downloaded, students can press a word during the story and have the meaning looked up instantly.
