Bookster 3.0 is here!

Imagine Learning is excited to announce the release of Bookster 3.0, the latest and greatest version of our app for early readers. Here are a few of the great new features you’ll find in this latest version of Bookster:

New books for beginning readers: We’ve added two new books in Bookster 3.0. Not Mice! and What a Bike! bring the grand total of available books up to 11. And while the original 9 books were ideal for young children to read along with the narrator, these new books are specifically designed for beginning readers who are starting to read independently.

Unlimited recordings: Now you can save more than one Bookster recording. In fact, you can save as many as you’d like! Have your kids read the pages as many times as they want and pick their favorite takes, or save a version of mom or dad reading the book for the kids to listen to later.

Create your own movie: With Bookster 3.0, you can create and share your very own video of any book you choose. Your child can read the book and record his or her own voice, and then share the book by creating a movie and emailing the video file to friends and relatives.

Limited-time offer: These new features combine to make Bookster 3.0 the most powerful and exciting version of our app yet. And through the remainder of January, all Bookster books (with the exception of Moving and What if?, which are free) will be available for only 99 cents each. So if you’re still missing some books from your Bookster shelf, get them this week while they’re on sale!

If your school is using iPods or iPads, we’d love to have you try Bookster. If you don’t have mobile devices in the classroom, please download Bookster for your kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, etc. It’s a lot of fun!

We’d love to hear your feedback about Bookster 3.0. If there are ways we can improve this app to better help your struggling readers, English learnersearly childhood students, or students with disabilities, let us know by leaving a comment below.

To download Bookster, look for it in the iTunes App Store or click here.
