I have always had a appetite for reading. No matter the type of book, as long as it kept my interest, I read it. My girls are the same way. They love reading. Especially my youngest. No matter what we are doing, if she has a moment, she will have a book or a tablet in her hand reading away.
Because she loves to read so much, she tends to add much wear and tear to her books. Pages are bent, marked on, and sometimes ripped. I figured, physical books in her hand will not survive he constant need for reading. I have ordered books on Amazon for her, but it can become costly over time.
A fellow blogger share this awesome app for reading electronic books. BookBoard is unique and is designed to motivate and engage kids to read more. The app has over 400+ books for children under 12 to unlock, discover, and connect.
I decided to go ahead and download for my girls to check out. Baby girl LOVES this app. It’s exciting for her to read and unlock more books. It’s like she gets rewarded for her reading.
After signing up, this screen came on welcoming baby girl to her own library. It’s colorful and easy on the eyes. She thought it was cool.
Your child starts out with a small selection, however, their personal library grows every time they finish a book and unlock other books to read.
My oldest daughter likes to read, but she prefers audio books. Luckily for her, Bookboard offers exactly that. She can just pick a book and listen to it during quite time.
There is a place to store favorites so that the girls can go back and re-read one of her favorite books.
There is also a button for history. That was you can always bring up books that were previously read.
The books are easy to see and read.
Once your child finishes one book, another book is unlocked!
Baby girl said that unlocking new books is the best part of the app. She calls it a reward for her brain 😀
