Product Description

Research indicates that when students select their own books to read, their literacy levels improve. This program walks you through making books, putting books on bookshelves and selecting books for students to read. My Own Bookshelf even collects data on each student's reading experience. Works with mouse/trackball/joystick, keyboard, touchscreen, and switches.

With My Own Bookshelf students have the power to choose the books they want to read. My Own Bookshelf records each reading session, letting you know how many books your student has read and which books they choose to read the most.
