Looking for an online source of e-books with a variety of genres and text types?  This library has got you covered. Our first offering is through Tumblebooks.

TumbleBooks is an online library of picture books in both fiction and nonfiction.  This is a great tool for struggling readers who would like to build confidence in their reading ability and look cool at the same time. They can find a book on their level that is of interest, most books have an AR quiz attached and students have control over their viewing of the text and audio within the database.

Some teachers use a  Tumblebook as a part of their morning routine or even their lessons for our students.  Check out the blue link for the video tutorial below on how to access this resource.
