A Novel Effect Soundscape and Activity Plan For "Sonia's Digital World"! Get Early Access Today, Friends.

I love Novel Effect! 

Novel Effect brings stories to life with the app that responds to your voice with interactive music and sound effects. It creates such a magical and engaging way to share read aloud with your students and children. 

I couldn't be more excited about the amazing new soundscape for my new book in partnership with Capstone and ISTE, Sonia's Digital World! 

In fact, if you listen closely my daughter, Brianna, is the teacher, and my son, Hagan, is the park ranger. How cool is that?!?! 

For early access to the Sonia's Digital World soundscape, scan the QR to open, or install the Novel Effect app. This will open it up. 

You can choose to read aloud from a print copy or the in-app eBook of Sonias Digital World is included too. 

To go along with the Novel Effect soundscape of Sonia's Digital World, there is also a very special Novel Effect Activity Plan. 

As shared on the Novel Effect site, 

Become a digital learning genie when you use Sonia’s Digital World activities. Each activity has been carefully crafted to ensure an experience filled with joy and discovery for your little tech enthusiasts.

As we step into computer science, our activities go beyond reading. It’s going to be so exciting! Your future engineer will plan and design a new device! Not just reading about technology, but becoming creators.

These activities don’t just stop at the book, they extend to making sense of the world around them. Little learners will compare and contrast various technologies, sort items into digital and non-digital categories, or craft their own thoughts on technology. Let’s build strong readers and critical thinkers.

This immersive activity packet beckons children into a world where English Language Arts and Computer Science converge. The boundaries of learning and play blur. You’re just a click away. Don’t miss out on the chance to transform story-time into a captivating expedition into Sonia’s Digital World!

At ISTE, one of my favorite presentations was in the ISTE 2023 Learning Lab. It was called...

...Bringing Sonia's Digital World To Life With Novel Effect and Merge. You will find our presentation here.

It was so much fun sharing these ideas with my friend Kathi Kersznowski, from Novel Effect, and Stephanie Lyons, from Merge. 

This will give you all the steps to use Novel Effect.  I will talk about Merge in the next post. 

Thank you Novel Effect, friends.  I cannot wait to share this one with my students in the fall.  In fact, I will be read aloud to over 100 teachers next week in Philadelphia and can't wait to share all of this magic with them!
