Smart Books: Interactive books created in PowerPoint  

PowerPoint can be used to make colorful, creative and interactive books.  Children and adults love clicking through the "pages" to see the pictures, sounds, and animations in this dynamic style of information presentation. Over   the years I have created several PowerPoint books to work on a variety of speech, language, and academic concepts with children and adults in individual, small groups, and whole class activities.  Now, you can use them too!
