what are mimic books?
Mimic books are exactly that; digital books for whiteboards that mimic the real thing. Mimic books are not like books on CD ROMs; the key difference is that unlike today’s provision of digital books, mimic books have deliberately been designed to exclude ‘interactive’ features and to replicate the experience of reading a real book. We believe that all books are interactive because that’s what real reading requires.
Mimic Books also retain the original artwork and text for the whiteboard that teachers and learners have come to expect from children’s books. We are transforming books for whiteboards.
Easy to use, inclusive, accessible and engaging are just some of the words that have been used to describe Mimic Books and we know why that is so. At the heart of Mimic Books are award winning books such as ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘Amazing Grace,’ from a range of publishing giants.
Our first Literacy Package has over forty great titles covering a variety of reading genres to use right away.
Mimic books are ideal for:
- Story time
- Shared reading
- Guided reading
- School assemblies
