My Own Bookshelf

Improving literacy starts with letting students select the books they want to read. With SoftTouch's My Own Bookshelf authoring tool, you can easily create virtual books for student reading. The page design application walks you through creating books and placing them on virtual bookshelves. When it’s time to read, students select the book they want using the easy-to-use reading tool! Want to know which books your student likes best? My Own Bookshelf even collects data on each student’s reading experiences.
