Our fun-to-use software makes it easy for kids to practice summarizing text! Perfect for use on computers, SMART Boards and other interactive whiteboards, our activity software features 4 engaging e-books--2 fiction and 2 nonfiction titles--plus 4 corresponding activities. Simply press play to listen as the program narrates the story and highlights each word of the text--so children can easily follow along. Then switch to activity mode to complete skill-building activities that correspond to the text--summarizing the text as they build their own story synopses right on the screen! We've even included extra features that add to each lesson, including helpful glossaries and an interactive pencil tool for spotlighting key vocabulary and text elements! CD-ROM is compatible with Mac/Win.
