Ms. Melzer,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for helping spread the word about our iPad app. We are now offering 9 new books for 99 cents each. Of course 8 books are still available for free.
We expect schools to be using the app in their classrooms in the new year, which is why our goal is to have all of our prints books eventually on the app. But the summer is a great time to get the app in front of students and children so they keep reading a part of their summertime activities.
Thanks again and happy summer!
