What are eBooks?
eBooks are electronic versions of printed books which give pupils and teachers a new way of interacting with words and pictures on screen.
Because the book is digital, readers can scroll through and ‘turn the pages’ using their keyboard or mouse. Teachers (and pupils) can add notes or comprehension questions, highlight key words and make annotations that can be shared.
eBooks and reluctant readers
Schools have seen the benefits of using eBooks to engage struggling and reluctant readers – particularly boys. The increased functionality allows pupils to interact more fully with the text and the reading experience becomes more personal and certainly more relevant for young ‘digital natives’.
How can I use eBooks in my school?
- Use on the whiteboard and/or laptops or netbooks for guided reading sessions
- Network for independent and group reading on desktops, laptops or even hand-held devices
- Add to your school’s VLE or network for pupils to access independently at home or in the library
