This article gives guidelines for evaluating the educational potential of ebooks, and makes specific suggestions for resources on how to find high-quality apps for beginning readers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Reading Teacher is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
