Guide to Using Sylvan Dell Books and Online Resources in the Classroom What we like to emphasize with parents and teachers using our books and eBooks is that we offer so much more than just a picturebook. We have developed a significant amount of value-added, teaching activities and interactive quizzes that are free on our website - if, folks want to use them. We view it as a sequenced process where trailers and eBooks are a fun tee-up for a much more in-depth, cross-curricular learning experience. Reading the eBooks projected on large screen or using “smart boards” is easy to use technology and so much more fun for the children. For parents and teachers wanting to work the science, math and other learning objectives, each book has a 3-5 page educational section in the back. But that is really just the beginning ... and our free, online resources shown below are just amazing. If you are teaching Spanish or ESL children of all ages, our eBooks and audiobooks are phenomenol tools. At Sylvan Dell, it is about getting the children excited about the subject and then as we like to say: strike while the learning iron is hot! Here is how the links are set-up on our Book Homepages … click image to go to the Whistling Wings book homepage page or just click the links below to explore the different resources.
Here is what Teaching Activities look like:  eBooks are a big part of our program and our new eBook format featuring Auto-Flip, Auto-Read and Language Selection have been designed from the ground up to improve a child's reading speed, comprehension, and language skills. These are the most technologically advanced eBooks in the world today. Parents and teachers are encouraged to take a test-drive and see for themselves. Let the children play with these eBooks for a few weeks, and you’ll be amazed at their excitement and improved reading performance. For children wanting to learn a foreign language or ESOL families learning English, these are phenomenal tools. We think you'll find our new eBooks easy to operate but just in case, we have also put together this short tutorial to assist and an eBook sample to practice with: We provide online webinars for schools and teachers who would like a hands-on, 30-minute training session. The webinars are scheduled: Mon 3:30 EST, Tue 3:30 CST, Wed 3:30 MST, and Thu 3:30 PST. If you or your teachers are interested, please check online for details and webinar registration info (or email or call us). Last year, we awarded Free eBook site licenses to over 2,600 schools nationwide and we are continuing that program. If your school or district is interested, please go to our School Resource Grants page to see eligibility details and the easy, online application. Eligibility is one school per school district plus we offer a separate grant program for Title I/III schools. Sylvan Dell eBooks are powerful literacy and language learning tools to complement our mission of teaching ‘Science and Math Through Literature.’ And, if you click on this audiobook player, you can listen to all 45 titles in English and Spanish.
Author Biographies with School Visit Info - We have 64 wonderful authors and illustrators on our team; many of whom love to come in to the schools and provide readings and presentations.
If you are trying to really get the most out of our books, here is the sequence that we recommend. It is a menu that you can pick and choose from but there is quite a bit there on every book homepage and we suggest you just explore all links and enjoy. Teacher Prep
