How to Get Capstone Library to Read to You

Capstone Library and its associated companies publish books for children. The Capstone Interactive Library offers more than 450 books that children can read online. One feature of the interactive books is that kids can listen to the book being read or read along with the audio; these practices can help students who are struggling with word recognition or reading fluency. Capstone offers nonfiction and fiction in a variety of genres.
