Sourced through Scoop.it from: www.assistiveware.com

If you have heard or used the Tar Heel Reader, you know that it is a valuable resource of books (and book creating) for emergent readers. And heard or have Pictello app from AssistiveWare? Most likely you know about this premier storybook app with features to create your own books, sensory or social stories which can be accessed on the iPad with direct access or switch.

Now merge the two, and you have a resource of storybooks that can be used in Pictello that can be accessed by those using direct access and via switch on the iPad.

A huge hat tip to AssistiveWare for creating an online converter tool for Tar Heel Reader stories that can be used with Pictello! Reading for everyone!
