The Lynnfield Public Library is excited to announce we’ve added a new database to help children learn important reading skills! BookFlix® is a digital literacy resource that pairs more than 120 animated stories from Weston Woods with a best-selling nonfiction eBook from Scholastic on a similar subject. The fiction and nonfiction pairings are designed to strengthen early literacy skills while exposing young learners to real world concepts. BookFlix® is aimed at young learners from PreK-Grade 3.
BookFlix® will read books to your child and allow them to follow along. There are also additional features to go deeper into reading, vocabulary and the non-fiction topics. Some of the books are even available in Spanish as well as English!
Now you can use BookFlix® for free through the Lynnfield Library Website! https://lynnfieldlibrary.org/
From the Library’s home page > click on the Youth Services tab > Click on the Bookflix button and log on with your library card number!
Once you’ve logged in to BookFlix® you can choose a category of story to enjoy. If you only want to see Spanish choices, just click the upper right Espanol button.
