Boys love digital reading!
Recent research from PISA has shown that boys have a strong interest in, and aptitude for, digital reading.
The gender gap is much narrower when reading texts on screen and this can be exploited to engage reluctant readers and motivate your 'switched-off' boys.
Rising Stars eBooks offer students:
- The opportunity to read engaging texts in a digital format
- A range of fiction and non-fiction genres including sci-fi, adventure and sport
- Age-appropriate themes and storylines
- A controlled language level to support reluctant readers
Choose from our range of eBook Libraries for each of our reader series or our eBookshelves which are mixed collections aimed at certain interest areas.
Each eBook selection:
- is supplied in multiple formats for optimum use on any device including iPads, iPod Touches, Kindles, PCs, netbooks or whiteboards
- comes on disc for easy integration into your library or literacy teaching
- includes a permanent home and school licence so your eBooks can be added to the network or VLE for use on an unlimited number of devices throughout the school or from home
