Did you know that Doss Elementary School has access to many electronic books (e-books) and databases? I want to be sure that you know how to access these from school as well as home. I cannot post passwords here, but will send that information through Living Tree so that students can read e-books and explore databases at home. Since there is a lot of information that I want to share, I am going to start with the two newest and will add a few at a time in subsequent posts. I think that this will make exploration of these sites fun and interesting, without being overwhelming. Most importantly, I want you to use them! So here goes....
I have found that the kids love the Capstone Interactive e-books that can be found at mycapstonelibrary.com There is a username and password required and many of the kids know it, but I will post them on Living Tree for those who don't. Many of the little ones ask for a DC Super-Pets book and while I do have print copies in the library, electronic versions can be found online in the Capstone library. Here's a sneak peek of what the kids like so much! There are eleven DC Super-Pets titles and I have purchased 262 other Capstone e-books that include fiction and non-fiction on a variety of reading levels. Check them out and let me know what you think!

PebbleGo is an award winning pre-K to grade 3 database for reading and research. The PebbleGo database includes built-in reading and research tools for emerging readers. Leveled text, educational games, and multimedia help teach concepts to young researchers.
The PebbleGo databases make learning and improving reading and research skills fun, building on children’s interest. PebbleGo offers five separate databases: Animals, Science, Biographies, Social Studies, and Dinosaurs. Databases are simple to navigate and offer key reading supports such as read-along audio and word-by-word highlighting.
The same username and password is used for PebbleGo as for mycapstonelibrary.com and can be found, you guessed it, on Living Tree.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope your enjoy exploring these e-books and databases!
