Tales2Go Releases iOS v4.0
This and other news from Tales2Go...
We have a brand new app!
Check out our new iOS app, with lots of new goodies. In addition to a complete redesign, including book cover images in the returned lists, we are introducing technology which allows students to listen to an audio book on a device at school, place a bookmark and then pick back up where they left off at home on their personal device. We also added multi-variable search, making the process of discovery easier. For example, listeners can search for titles in the Characters and Series genre, at a 3rd to 5th grade level, to find their just right book.
Tales2Go in Action
With permission, we're sharing this YouTube video from Julie Wannigman, a special education teacher at Albany Elementary School in Minnesota. The above four students have been using Tales2Go as a core element of their literacy program. The students had a lot of success using Tales2Go, so much so that Julie taped them during a presentation she arranged for the rest of the school staff on the benefits of adding a listening component to reading instruction. Thanks, Julie!

New and Notable
Little Women
The March family lives in a small New England community. Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March are raised in genteel poverty by their loving mother, Marmee, while their father serves as chaplain during the American Civil War.
Little Men
Little Men, written by legendary author Louisa May Alcott, is widely considered to be one of the greatest books of all time. This great classic will surely attract a whole new generation of readers. The lovable Jo March, introduced to us in Little Women, is now married, with two sons of her own and an adopted family of twelve boys.
Classic Literature Radio Theater by The NBC Radio Theater
These high quality radio theater performances reenact, in the studio, great literature by Dickens, Twain, Austen, and Cervantes. Many accredited universities used this series as a supplement to correspondence college courses. It was an ambitious series that employed famous actors, sound effects, and dramatic music to convey the story in an entertaining manner.
