Looking for a more interactive experience while reading books? Weigl Publishers has done just that by allowing you to further enjoy cutting-edge technology called AV2 books!
BOOKS REVIEWED
We received three media enhanced books to review: A Lion’s World, There Once Was a Cowpoke Who Swallowed an Ant, and Glaciers.
This is an entirely new way to experience reading for your children. A2 books were launched in 2010 with originally 35 titles. Weigl now has hundreds of digital books and media-enhanced books available. Every book you purchase contains a digital code unlocking multimedia content with audio, videos, web-links, slideshows, and activities.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Here’s how it works. First, click on the website for Weigl Publishers website and purchase a book. Then, go to your email where you will find immediate access to a PDF file of the book. In the PDF file, a code will be included for access to online content, video, audio, web-links, etc. to support the book itself. Go back directly to the website and enter the code provided to unlock the AV2 features!
AV2 is compatible with all brands and manufacturers of desktop computers, laptop computers, netbooks, tablets, and interactive whiteboards that use the browsers and operating systems. It’s possible you may need to download or enable some programs such as Flash or Javascript.
GLACIERS – Grades 3 to 6
My kids are older and the AV2 book Glaciers was perfect for their age. My daughter enjoyed interacting with the book and learning about the beautiful glaciers. I could see she was in awe of the life-like images! You can expect to find audio, videos, activity sheets, resources, quizzes and links to google maps showing the location of the glaciers! It was a wonderful experience for my daughter and she enjoyed all aspects except for the audio, which sounded robotic.
THERE ONCE WAS A COWPOKE AND A LION’S WORLD
