What's a 'Wonderbook'?
Season 2023
Episode 25
A "Wonderbook" combines a printed book and a ready-to-play audiobook. Kids use a control pad similar to a video game, to make the "Wonderbook" work. They press "play" to read along and then switch to learning mode for literacy learning and fun. Combining reading aloud, some fun headphones, and a control pad helps kids improve their reading skills by interacting with text.
