Innovative features

- Text highlighting: As the audio plays, words, phrases, or sentences are highlighted one at a time for readers to easily follow along, helping them make audio and visual connections.
- Fixed pagination: Pages do not reflow on mobile devices or computers, allowing digital readers to have the same experience as students reading print editions.
- Variety of text types: eBooks with Audio offer a wide variety of styles and genres, including graphic novels, biographies, informational and high-interest nonfiction, chapter books, teen-oriented high/low fiction, realistic fiction, sports fiction, mysteries, paranormal fiction, and more.
- Easy navigation: Familiar icons indicate how to pause/play, stop, and change volume. Leaving the Auto Play feature “on” turns pages automatically. With it “off,” readers can read along with the highlighting at a fluent pace and either swipe or use arrows to turn the pages. The bookshelf icon brings readers back to the home screen to select a different title.
