Have you ever walked on the beach and looked for shells? There are creatures, more like you and me, who are even more interesting to look for. Most people dont see them, but they might just not know how to look for signs. In this title you will be introduced to the tracking of Mermaids. This is a lovely activity for a fun day at the beach and a way to encourage paying close attention to all the interesting things that can be found on the beach or in the water.
The Tiptoe Guide to Tracking Mermaids is based on the book by the same name, written by Ammi-Joan Paquette and illustrated by Marie Letourneau. It is also a part of StoriesAlive subscription app.
▶ ENHANCE CREATIVITY BY PERSONALIZING THE STORY:
- You can write your own version of the text for the book
- Personalize the narration: kids or parents can record the narration to make it their own!
▶ DEVELOP READING SKILLS WITH THESE LITERACY TOOLS:
- Karaoke effect – Word is highlighted, when spoke during the narration
- Touch a word to hear it being spoken in “Read Myself” mode (almost like “training wheels” for new readers)
▶ THREE WAYS TO READ THE BOOK:
1) "Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style.
2) "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience.
3) "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
