Interactive and Adapted Book Resources 1-10
For this post I am considering adapted books to be books that are written in a format that is easy for students with cognitive or physical disabilities to access/understand. Not all sites will fit both criteria but hopefully this will be a useful list.
NYC Department of Education Adapted Books-This site has books in a variety of formats including Boardmaker (must have program to run) on a wide range of topics that would be appropriate for learners from K-12.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh My StoryMaker-Fun way for students to create own books. They can move the characters and assign them actions, the program writes the story. This cannot be done independently with non-readers but would be very fun as a collaborative project or as a SmartBoard/SmartTable activitiy.
Story Maker Myths and Legends- You can read one of the already made stories or make your own. Audio Support available for most stories.
Very Emergent Readers Bookshop- this site is exactly what is says, a place to download printable materials for emergent and not so emergent readers.
StoryBird- a great place for you to create on-line stories or read stories that others have written. Graphic choices are fabulous.
On-Line Bookshelf- a collection of adapted book sites.
The Art of Storytelling The Delaware Art Museum- this site uses are as inspiration for people to write. I particularly like the Picture a Story section where students can follow a template to create a story and record it when they are finished.
MSNucleaus Storybooks- free storybooks that teach science, very appropriate for students with more intense cognitive disabiliites.
Beowolf for Beginners- Beowolf told in a way that is much easier to understand
The Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling University of Houston- a resource that gives examples of and takes you through the process of using Web2.0 applications to create digital stories.
