The Read-Along by Playaway.

Every Wonderbook is a print book with a ready-to-play audiobook inside. Kids will press play to read along with their favorite books.

There’s also more to the story with Learning Mode – exclusively on Wonderbook! After reading along, kids can switch Wonderbook into Learning Mode to keep talking about the book they’ve just read to experience:

• Educator-Vetted Questions: Engage in open-ended, educator-vetted questions to stimulate critical thinking and comprehension.
• ‍Parent-Child Dialogue: Foster meaningful dialogue between adults and children about the books they read, empowering critical thinking skills.
• ‍Literacy Skills: Enhances vocabulary development, phonics, comprehension, and more.
• ‍Bilingual Learning: Wonderbook Learning Mode seamlessly supports bilingual patrons by offering interactive question and answer sessions in both Spanish and English. (Available on bilingual titles.)
