It is increasingly clear that today's kids - digital natives - enjoy digital reading1. In fact, a recent Scholastic study found that one-third of K-8 students would spend more time reading if they had access to eBooks2, and multiple studies by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop are finding that digital and mobile technologies can be powerful tools to promote learning3. When it comes using eBooks in school, however, the content of an eBook is only as powerful as the reader software that a student uses to view it. StarWalk Kids Media has designed the best in class, highly attractive StarWalk ReaderTM, with a rich array of features that address the needs of both students and educators. Because we have a one of the strongest K-8 nonfiction catalogues in the industry, we have paid particular attention to the tools required to support students in reading, understanding and analyzing informational texts. Most important, we have built the StarWalk ReaderTM to work on all the technology that is available, including iPad, Android tablets, desktop and laptop computers, smartphones and interactive whiteboards. _____________ 1-Bosman, Julie.In Study, Children Cite the Appeal of Digital Reading.
