The Haunted Party

In www.speakaboos.com a student can choose from many different genres that they would like to hear a story from. They include: fairytales, nursery rhymes, scary stories, adventure stories, sport stories, food stories, sing along song stories, animal stories, ABC’s and 123 stories, and things that go stories. Children can even chose from some of their favorite characters from these stories to read them another story. They even have a dragon next to what looks to be a television screen showing new stories and featured stories that go along with holidays, etc. This story was one from scary stories. It would be good for younger elementary students, like kindergarteners and first graders. In this eBook, it tells the story of different ghosts, goblins, ghouls, witches, etc. going up in numbers (and then back down) and what they are doing at this haunted party. This eBook has repetition and rhymes throughout the entire story.

I really liked this eBook. It did a good job of including different writing crafts, like rhyming and repetition. Also, I liked how it was very diverse. There is a part in the story that shows ten children trick or treating and it does a wonderful job of showing diversity. The graphics in this eBook are much better than the last. If I were to teach younger elementary students, I would love to use this eBook in my class. I would like for my students to be able to use eBooks as an option in my future classroom library. It is important for students to be able to learn how to read from a computer or iPad screen. I could use eBooks and using the computer/iPad as a reward system for students. If they read five books, they can earn the privilege to going onto the computer or iPad to read an eBook.
