By making reading more interactive and animating the illustrations, "StoryTimeForMe" not only provides free books for young children, it puts reading up there with video games.
StoryTimeForMe encourages young children to pay more attention to reading, the free books are...
made available and played as slow animations within a web browser. The animation of the books develops young children's interest;
provide young readers with an interactive experience.

Silly Books have been included in the eMagazine in the past but. now many of their books have a "click through" option which allows switch users to turn the page. Just set the switch to "mouse click" and place the mouse arrow over next.
This doesn't just aid
inclusion it also make these books much better for Family Learning
Practitioners to use on an Interactive White Board (IWB).

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Foundation has produced Storyline Online, a streaming video site where SAG members read a wide selection of children’s books.
Children can...
follow along in their own books; or
just watch the video, which includes the illustrations.
Toggle closed-captioning; or
to
make it even more book-like, turn off the sound as well; this kind of
defeats the purpose of watching the videos, but, I suppose, it’s nice
to know users could do this.
