Why are we using e-books?
• Children can enjoy reading books onscreen and completing fun quiz questions found in the e-books
• The quiz questions will help the children practise their reading skills
• The e-books are also audio-books, so children can enjoy hearing an expressive reading of the book
When can children use the e-books?
• If you have access to an internet connection at home, your child can log on whenever they want to, from home.
• If you don’t have internet access at home, please see me to make an alternative arrangement.
