The visual encyclopedia: labelled picture books to read and hear with your class
Picture books by subject, each page a big labelled picture. Read it with your class, or press Listen to hear the page read aloud.
Every screen in the films is the real product, shown on a demo school made for them.
Sometimes a class needs to see a thing before the words make sense: the lungs, a leaf, a machine. The visual encyclopedia in Apar AI LMS is a set of picture books on science, history and more. Each page is a big picture with its parts labelled, and the app can read each page aloud, which helps when the whole class is looking at it together.
The film opens the encyclopedia from the Library, picks Biology, opens the book on respiration, and then reads and listens to it.
