- Video games are loads of fun but books can be amusing too.
- It may be difficult to convince kids to spend time with books on paper, but parents can encourage their youngsters to get turned on to reading by offering them the experience at DisneyDigitalBooks.com.
Through DisneyDigitalBooks.com, kids of all ages can access over 600 interactive books online that will keep them reading, learning and playing for hours. Children use the character carousel to find books featuring their favorite Disney characters or click “Find Books” to search by keyword or reading level. As they read, children can use the Magic Pen to click on any word to hear it read aloud, and the dictionary feature defines the words they don’t know.
The site offers some very limited social networking, with pre-created messages that allow the sharing of book suggestions. Parents have their own user names and passwords that allow them to view their children’s activity at the site, make book recommendations and send messages of encouragement.
DisneyDigitalBooks.com may be accessed by any Internet connected computer. A monthly subscription costs $8.95 or an annual family subscription is $79.95. Best of all, currently there’s an offer for a free seven day trial. Registration for the free trial requires nothing more than a name, birth date and e-mail address, and all the books and features at the site become immediately accessible.
