In this activity, the frame animation eagle from the IntelliPics Studio 3® Picture Library was used as the moving object on the screen. The goal of the activity was to provide a basis for children to write about both migration as it applies to animal movement and also to provide a basis for describing the landscape and mountains the eagle was flying by on its trip northward.

The activity opens as a book with a picture of the Titanic on the cover and then eight pages of text describing the Titanic and the disaster that occurred on April 14, 1912. After each page of text, the child is presented with a multiple choice question which tests for comprehension of the previous page’s content.

This original story is presented as a book with a cover and a single page of text. After the story is read, the child is then presented with five separate questions to test the child’s comprehension of the story. Questions not only test recall of the text but also inferred meaning within the story.

Where Does Sadie Sleep?” is a nine page book that explores where Sadie (Byron’s 19 year black tabby) sleeps during the day. The pages have photos on each page along with a simple sentence explaining where Sadie is sleeping. Kids in preschool and K-2 will enjoy this little book.

In Who Has Antlers children are asked whether moose, elk, wolves and/or caribou have antlers. Each animal is shown in a high quality photo. After each observing the picture, the child turns the page and is provided with the correct response to the question. The visual content of the book is appropriate for students in the third grade and beyond. But this book is written at the “Easy Level” for emergent readers and is automatically read to the student (whether using a mouse, switch, AAC or IntelliKeys to turn the pages).
