The Koç School Libraries: TumbleBook Library

The TP is a collection of TumbleBooks (animated, talking picture books) with fiction, non-fiction and foreign language titles, Math Stories, Read-Alongs (chapter books with sentence highlighting and narration but no animation), Videos, TumbleTV which consists of pre-set playlists of a sequence of books, Tumble Puzzles & Games, and TumbleResources for teachers and students. TumbleBooks are created from existing picture books which we have licensed from children's book publishers and converted to the TumbleBook format.

Tumblebook Library is available on IOS and ANDROID.

TumbleSearch:  

Our online search allows you to search by title, author, publisher, language, keyword, and reading level.

Automatic/Manual Button: 

TumbleBooks are designed to be experienced in either automatic or manual mode. In automatic mode, the pages turn by themselves and are narrated; in manual mode, the readers turn the pages at their own speed.

The Pause Button: Both the student and teacher can use the pause button to stop the story at any time in order to practice story prediction, interpret pictures, discuss new vocabulary words, empathize with a character, discuss possible consequences of actions, encourage problem solving, or provide historical, geographical, or other perspectives.

Reading Levels:

Each title has recommended reading levels: Grade, Lexile and Accelerated Reader information. Click on the reading level to see other books at the same level.

TumbleQuizzes: 

Each title has an accompanying TumbleQuiz: a fun, multiple-choice quiz that each student can take online after reading a book to test their reading comprehension. Quizzes are also available with audio.

TumbleGames:

The TumblePuzzles and TumbleGames are great educational tools.

TumblePlayer:  

The TumblePlayer allows students, teachers, librarians and parents to preload a number of TumbleBooks in an online player in order to be played one after another. Perfect for library story time. The TumblePlayer works just like an online music player.
