Hello students & parents!
Please check out the Toronto Public Library for FREE online books!
Click on the above link, 'Toronto Public Library', then scroll down and choose 'TumbleBook Library- access online', then click on 'Read-Alongs', 'Storybooks' or 'Non-Fiction Books' and browse through hundreds of online books, many which are read to you as you read along! When you have chosen a book, simply click 'view online' and the story will begin! You don't need to download anything!
For language learners, follow the same steps but choose 'Language Learning' once you are in TumbleBook Library. There are many books written and read in various languages such as Spanish (for our many Chile students!), French, Russian and Chinese.
I introduced this site to the students during our Daily 5- Listen to Reading station and they loved it! I was so happy to see students posting on Edmodo last night that they were listening to and reading TumbleBooks at home- and it wasn't assigned homework- AMAZING!
Parents, please encourage your child to listen to a TumbleBook story every night if possible as it will really help them with fluency, expanding vocabulary and comprehension. There are so many exciting e-books to choose from!
Please email me at evita.massaro@tcdsb.org if you have any problems with TumbleBooks.
HAPPY READING!!!
