Ebooks bring a whole new world of opportunities to children and those who help them. The affordances of today’s ebooks can offer environments and tools to students who may have a variety of needs, strengths, interests, and challenges at a wide range of reading levels. This session provides examples of a wide selection of ebooks and discussion of how these can support children at various stages of reading development. We cover what to look for, what to look out for, and how to make good decisions in the selection and use of digital, tablet-based books to encourage and grow young readers.
