“regular” TumbleBook Library that we have had in the past.
Contact your campus librarian if you want more info regarding links and usernames/passwords.

About TBC:
TBC is a collection of videos and chapter books in categories which include: Ebooks (Shakespeare, poetry, non-fiction, science, history, geography, etc.), Read-Alongs, Graphic Novels, Videos (from National Geographic!), and Audio Books. Our books feature adjustable text sizes, full narration, and a read-along function which highlights text as it is read. As a subscriber, you have access to lesson plans, quizzes and our Common Core Portal! These features make TBC a great tool for reluctant readers and ESL students. Plus, all these options can be switched to manual so readers can read at their own pace.

You can also access TBC via any
reading/mobile device that has an internet

My Favorites section for easy access any time. This feature is cookied
onto individual computers.
MyCloud:
This feature allows
teachers/librarians/students & patrons to create secondary accounts and
create customized playlists that can be access from any computer!
Common Core
Portal:
Allows educators to click on a
specific standard and see which of our TumbleBooks falls in that specific
category. Lesson plans and quizzes can also be found here.
TumbleSearch:
Our online search allows you to
search by title, author, publisher, language, keyword and reading level.
Automatic/Manual
Button:
TumbleBooks are
designed to be experienced in either automatic or manual mode. In automatic
mode, the pages turn by themselves and are narrated; in manual
mode, the readers turn
the pages at their
own speed.
The
Pause Button:
Both the student and
teacher can use the pause button to stop the story at any time in order to
practice story prediction, interpret pictures, discuss new vocabulary words,
empathize with a character, discuss possible consequences of actions, encourage
problem solving, or provide historical, geographical, or other perspectives.
Reading
Levels:
Each title has
recommended reading levels: Grade, Lexile and Accelerated
Reader information. Click on the reading level to see
other books at the same level.
TumbleQuizzes:
Each title has an
accompanying TumbleQuiz: a fun, flash-animated, multiple-choice quiz that
each student can take online after reading a book to test their reading comprehension.
Quizzes are also available with audio.
