Interactive books for kids
Interactive books for kids from Playgroup to Class 3, where your child takes part on every page: counting, clapping, guessing animal sounds, hunting for colours and shapes, adding up bus passengers and naming feelings. Look for the pointing hand sign and stop to do the action together before you turn the page.
Read each page slowly, praise effort rather than speed, and repeat favourite books, because repeating builds vocabulary and confidence. Every interactive book is free: register for a free account and every book opens, including the Premium ones. More to read together: Short Stories and Explore.
