The construction of electronic books proves to be a very easy and exciting task. What I enjoyed the most was the access to the web sites with the choice of graphics. The possibilities of this tool for reading are enormous. While I was creating the book I put my self in the place of the student and I realized that they would enjoy the experience and at the same time give them an opportunity to be creative. I can easily visualize the students creating E-books to replace their classroom paper based projects.
The creation of E-books by teachers can directly enhance the delivery of the curriculum across all subject areas. Teachers can use these specially designed books to explain and present expository text in a graphically and appealing way. Students can also add to the design of the books by adding information that they gathered during their own research.
The use of electronic books is a great tool to encourage slow readers to read. The teacher can use sight words and other culturally relevant material to encourage reluctant readers to get acquainted with text. These books can also be made interactive since animations, sound and music can be used to illustrate difficult concepts. The use of E- books is a great tool for literacy.
