Chapter Book Read-Alongs

Posted on:

The Juvenile Read-Along collection boasts more than 600 titles. Recently, many Read-Along chapter books have been added to the catalog, ranging from classics: Ramona the Brave and The Mouse and the Motorcycle to new favorites: The Wild Robot and The Last Kids On Earth. Books from some of your favorite series are now available in Read-Along format, such as Big Nate, and The Adventures of Captain Underpants. Several titles are available in Large Print.

Chapter book Read-Alongs have the same features as picture books, including a headphone port and learning mode. The bookmarking feature is especially useful for chapter books. This feature allows children to easily pause and resume their reading, reducing frustration and helping them maintain their place in the story.

The creators of Wonderbook Read-Alongs indicate that the books’  “...unique format combines the tactile experience of a physical book with the auditory support of an audiobook, making reading more accessible and enjoyable for all children. The Wonderbook's integration of print and audio allows users to engage with books in multiple ways.”
