E-Books for Kids!

MeeGenius is an excellent reading resource for young children.  MeeGenius is available on the web as well as in the App Store for Apple devices for free, however you need to purchase the books to go along with it.  Some stories are free, and I love that MeeGenius has a lot of classic children's stories.  As a Pre-K teacher in this day and age I am noticing that a lot of the classic stories and nursery rhymes I learned when I was younger are not so common with these young kids.  MeeGenius brings story-time into the 21st century as it makes books fun and easy to read along with, all while promoting comprehension skills.  

There are two options for each story, "Read to Me" or "Read it Myself".  When you choose "Read to Me" the stories are read aloud at a moderate pace and the words are highlighted as each one is read in order to aide children in the development of reading skills.  MeeGenius would be great to use in a reading center, or as a whole group story time.  Either way it is a great technology to use with young children to enhance their reading skills.
