Tumble into Reading!

One of the offerings on this website is TumbleBooks – an awesome resource for preschoolers, independent readers, and older students to provide reading readiness, strengthen reading skills, provide read-alongs, view educational videos, and access ebooks and audiobooks! TumbleBooks has grown so much that it has now split into three distinct sites to reflect and the ages and skills of the students who are growing with TumbleBooks.

The TumbleBook Library offers animated, talking picture books for early readers. Text is highlighted as it is read aloud, or the reader’s voice can be silenced so the child – or parent – can read on his own. Enrichment is offered through puzzles, games, and other reading activities.

Students in upper elementary grades can move into TumbleBook Cloud Junior, an online collection of ebooks and read-along chapter books, non-fiction books, graphic novels, educational videos, and audiobooks!

Older students can use TumbleBook Cloud for an in-depth reading experience. Enhanced novels include plot summaries, character sketches, and quizzes. Readers can highlight portions of a book and even add their own notes!

All three of the TumbleBook sites are available through West Baton Rouge Parish Library, all are fully indexed (even by lexile or Accelerated Reader level), and all offer readers a quality reading experience! Click on “Catalogs” at the top of this home page, and the TumbleBook sites will appear. Pick one and click! Your reading adventure awaits!
