Tar Heel Books and Creating your own!

Have you seen the site Tar Heel Books?

There are 15,000 books that have been created for and by beginning readers on this site! The books are organized by topic, rated, and sortable. You can even check off your favorite ones for easy finding later.

The books are adapted for easy accessibility (switch users can turn the "pages" easily). And you can add voice (adult, child, etc.) with just the click of a button.

In addition, you can register for a free account and create your own books (or better yet, have your student create a book).

This website inspired me to check out creating powerpoint books (which I've heard of, but had previously never tried to create). So far, I've made one about "I see...", one focusing on the letter of the week "u", one with initial /p/ sounds, and one social story. Fun!

And , it was so easy! I even recorded my own voice on each page so that the auditory was clear.

Here is a tutorial on how to make your own Powerpoint books. My only difference, was that I recorded my messages this way, instead of using the prerecorded sounds.

Now, if I could just figure out an easy way to easily share these books with you, I would. Suggestions?
