Students in Second grade reading classes created Bat Books after reading and researching bats. They used the app Book Creator. This app allowed them to add text, pictures, and audio to their books. They really did a very nice job!
There are two versions of each book: epub and pdf. The epub can be downloaded and read in iBooks (on an iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch) or any other ebook reader. You will even be able to hear your child read! The pdf can be downloaded on a computer and printed. Check them out below!
