iBooks
Holidays usually mean long car rides for my family. Today we drove from the mountains to my parents house in Warrington, Pa. I have used the iPad to entertain Pat in the past, but today I set up some iBooks to read. iBooks are fantastic. Books can be read aloud and pages turn automatically. It was a lifesaver on our car ride today. I know, short post today...enjoy the 4th and if you find yourself on a long ride check out some free iBooks for your children. They remind me of the little red cassette tapes we had that had a book to read along with it.

Rose, I have an iPad and I had no idea there was an app for read aloud books! Can you tell me more about where to get them?
ReplyDeleteMelissa I wrote a response for this, and somehow someone (Shannon) erased it.
ReplyDelete1. Download iBooks
2. Go to store (upper left corner)
3. Look for free books
4. Download the book.
5. Click on the book to read it.
6. Once you are in the book, click on the sound icon. I change the functions to read aloud, and turn the pages automatically. Then hit start reading. The book will read aloud, the words will highlight as they are read, and the pages will turn automatically!
