Tar Heel Reader


Tar Heel Reader is a free web-based tool that gives you access to thousands of books made by parents and teachers.  Select Find a Book to start your search.  Try using a search term such as "social story" or "first day of school."  To see if it is the right one for your young learner select the book and read it.  If you would like to make changes you will need to sign up for a free account.  Ask for the access code (it's not a secret but they don't post it to keep automated systems from getting into the site).  With your free account you can change the wording, add different pictures and publish a new book.  When you publish it is available for everyone to see and use.  To keep it private you would keep your book as a draft and read it in preview mode.   http://tarheelreader.org/?utm_source=Tiny+Tech%3A+Simon+Technology+Center+Newsletter&utm_campaign=3b9e47ebbb-Tiny_Tech_Test_13_17_2014&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bec332876a-3b9e47ebbb-167435633
