Tumblebooks and Bookflix!

Tumblebooks are wonderful animated online picture books.  I have previewed a number of them, and I suspect our students will find them as engaging and fun as I do.
It is possible to access Tumblebooks through many local library systems including Fairfax County and DC. The link to access Tumblebooks through the DC Public Library site is here:  http://www.dclibrary.org/kids/videobooks

(you can also find the link to Bookflix there, which I describe below)




There are a number of titles available in Spanish as well as English... You can find titles about a huge range of subjects:

• Alphabet and reading
• Animals and insects
• The arts
• Early Readers
• Fables and Fantasy
• Friends and Family
• Fun and Games
• Geography
• Health
• Holidays
• Jobs
• Math and Counting
• School
• Science and Technology
• Seasons
• Sports
• World Cultures

Another Great Resource, available with a DC Public Library Card, is Scholastic's Bookflix:

According to their website, "Scholastic BookFlix is a new online literacy resource that pairs classic video storybooks from Weston Woods with related nonfiction eBooks from Scholastic to build a love of reading and learning. The engaging way to link fact and fiction, BookFlix reinforces early reading skills and introduces children to a world of knowledge and exploration."

Here is a list of the titles available:

Enjoy!
