The Tortoise and the Hare (I) app for iPhone and iPad

Studies show one of the most important things that can be done in preparing children for success in school and reading is to read aloud to them: reading aloud helps build listening skills, vocabulary, memory, and language skills and helps children learn information about the world around them.

KooBits interactive Ebook App has read-aloud, voice-recording and user-input features, as well as interactive puzzle games to engage the digital kids of today.

Children can use this App to create ebooks as part of a writing activity, for themselves or others.

The Tortoise and the Hare is a fable attributed to Aesop. The story concerns a hare who ridicules a slow-moving tortoise and is challenged by him to a race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, decides to take a nap midway through the course. When he awakes, however, he finds that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, has arrived before him.
