What is it?
Bookflix is a website that students, librarians, and teachers can use to view videos based off of books and book read alongs. This website pairs two activities together that are based on the same topic. Typically, it's a read along book video paired with a e-book. There is also the option of Spanish and lesson plans to go along with the book pairings.
Pros:
- Free to use!
- Spanish Option
- Visually appealing and sound effects
- Free lesson plans to use
- Keeps students engaged with books
Cons:
- Must have Internet
- It's unclear how often new pairings/books are added
Overall:
Bookflix is a great tech tool to use in the library! Students can use it individually on their tablets or computers or the librarian can put it up on a large screen for the whole class to view. This tech tool is especially useful for when library class gets cut a bit short due to other school wide activities happening that day so that you don't have to start a new lesson when there clearly isn't time to do so. Bookflix is also nice to have written done for a substitute teacher plan.
I highly recommend Bookflix!
