Keep your kids in the flow of learning over the summer with PebbleGo and Capstone Interactive eBooks! These activities are designed to be easy to follow for parents and caregivers, but you can introduce any of the resources before school ends to set your students up for summer success!

Capstone Interactive eBooks are a collection of fiction and nonfiction interactive eBooks that also provide critical supports like text-highlighting and read-aloud audio, recorded by professional voice-over artists, to model pronunciation and fluency. The eBooks are targeted for grades K-8, but the content will support our older learners too!
