The Bookshare Express is our 4th annual summer reading contest. Get your students on board for one of this summer's most fun events!
Bookshare members of every age, grade level, and country, including international members, are invited to read books about different places and share what they learned. For each submission, they can win great prizes like a tablet PC, mp3 players, and Read2Go apps!
How can your students participate?
- Educators learn how to sign up your students for an Individual Membership
- Sign up to be notified when the contest launches in early June.
Mentor Awards and Special Recognition Announced!
As of today, approximately 370 Bookshare Mentors and Local Experts are doing their part to Let Reading Come Alive in their districts. Many went the "extra mile" and shared their activities with the Bookshare team. They also became eligible for prizes, including Read2Go licenses, MP3 players, gift cards for school supplies, and an iPad as a grand prize.
Congratulations to Sallie Spencer who will receive an iPad for her work with children, teachers, and parents across all grade levels in Olivet, Michigan. Sallie will also be profiled in an upcoming Bookshare Blog.
See the full list of winners here.
Check the Bookshare library to see if next year's textbooks are available, if not, let us know by giving us us the title, author, an ISBN and we'll purchase the books, scan and proofread them over the summer so they're ready for you in the fall. Contact us
Bookshare Books Now Available for MP3 Players to request yourBookshare.
More good news! Bookshare now offers titles that can be downloaded and played on any MP3 player. When a title is requested for the first time, it may need to be converted to MP3. Delivery times will depend on the size of the book and the number of people waiting for MP3 book conversions. Note that MP3 audio files are best played on an MP3 player. Keep your eyes open for other formats that will be available in the future.
