e-Coloring Storybooks
to Read and Color!
e-Coloring Storybooks are a great way to introduce Reading and e-books for kids. I created Coloring Storybooks as a first grade teacher. I couldn't find enough appropriate reading material for my class of 5 and 6 year olds, so I wrote and illustrated a series of storybooks that the kids could read, color and put together themselves. I printed the pages for them and they colored the illustrations. Then they glued the pages onto poster board cut to fit. I punched holes down the left sides and they tied the books together with thick pieces of yarn. Because they had a hand in the creation of these books, the children truly treasured them. Other (faster!) ways of putting the pages together are; using a hole punch and plastic snap-together rings; just stapling them down the left margin; or inserting them into plastic page protectors and putting them into a binder. I like the binder idea best because the page protectors preserve the pages and more stories can be added. As a child I enjoyed the combination of pictures and words. As a teacher I saw that the addition of pictures, especially pictures that the kids could color themselves, enhanced the experience of learning to read.
Kids' e-Books
I just love the idea of kids' e-books! What fun it must be to be a child nowadays with an entire library of wonderful stories available at the touch of a fingertip!
Long car trip? Long wait at the Dr.'s office? Long line at the theme park? No problem! With a portable electronic reader, boredom is easily kept at bay!
E-books are also ecological. By downloading and printing only what you need, it's no longer necessary to produce and stock stacks of books in a warehouse.With that in mind I created e-Coloring Storybooks. These are downloadable books that can be read on an electronic device, or printed to create and color your own hard copy.
