The New Bike – Start to Read!

Independence Day weekend special: School Zone apps are $1.99 or less until July 5, 2015!

Every child loves story time! Books from School Zone’s Start to Read! series, in read-along format, narrate and present amusing stories with memorable messages that help children learn to read.

In The New Bike Lee has a new bike and wants to show it to her friend Mike, but first she has to learn to ride it! With dad’s help and big determination, she does just that. In order to read successfully, children need to master a basic vocabulary of sight words and learn to sound out words. This read-along storybook app makes it extra fun. Most of the vocabulary words in The New Bike are typically introduced in first grade and second grade. The words another, pedals, across, bridge, and through are higher-level words. This Level 2 series selection is a super solution to the “Read me a story!” refrain. Easy-to-use settings allow children to control their app experience. If they turn on “Read to Me” mode, they can follow along with the narrator as each word onscreen is highlighted. With it off, they can try reading the story on their own. In both modes, if they get stuck, they can touch any word, any time and hear its pronunciation. Kids can also choose auto-page turning and background music on or off.
