Teaching With World Book Early Learning

 

Learning Objectives
  • Understand the importance of using digital text, print, and other media in early learning curriculum.
  • Identify best practices for using World Book Early Learning in the classroom.

 

Best Practices for Digital Reading

Reading on a screen is different than reading print. INFOhio's Best Practices for Digital Reading were collected by the INFOhio Early Literacy Task Force from journals, education publications, and research studies. Use these best practices to help students of any age become readers who can comprehend, analyze, and evaluate text on the screen or in a book. As you review the Best Practices for Digital Reading, think about what you already do when using digital text and what you need to do.

Using iPads for Reading

World Book Early Learning works great on a tablet. Watch this video to see how one teacher integrated reading on a tablet in her kindergarten classroom.
