Like few others I had trouble logging in.  I know our school has username and password but just don't know it.  So, I went to BookFlix and got their trial version.  From the course BookFlix really interested me.  I would use this resource for K thru 3rd.  I loved how the words were highlighted as being read.  2nd and 3rd graders could listen to the story as well.  It would give them different options instead them always having to read.  Once they heard the story read to them.  They could go back and read it to themselves.  Doing this there might be something they missed when listening to the story.   So it will make it easier for Kindergarters and 1st graders to follow along.  Only having a few words on each page I think will help keep their attention.  The pictures on each page went with each part of the story very well.  When at the main menu and you can choose a category there are so many different choices.  Students can pick different books that interest them.  After choosing a story there is activities students can do.  Which students will enjoy doing and be able to do.  When choosing a story right beside it.  It shows students fiction and non fiction stories.  It shows students how books can relate to each other.  If students choose to read the story themselves.  Having information about the author, students then can find out more information about the author.  I really enjoyed exploring BookFlix and it will be great resource that the students can go log in on their own.
