UDL Book Builder is a great tool to create and publish digital books designed to support learners by using universal design for learning principles. Multiple points of entry, visual, auditory, vocabulary hyperlinks, and thought-provoking questions can be embedded to scaffold learning for all students.

Using UDL book Builder is a helpful resource to acquaint your students with grade level reading options. It helps bring technology into the classroom and into their lives with another form of learning style. Children seem to want to read more when there is a screen in front of them and they also enjoy going at their own pace. This is a wonderful tool for teachers to use to help students who need to hear the words on the page, as well as, give students who may have their work finished a place to use their energy on reading and creating books of their own choosing.

I also like the idea of having digital books as a teacher because I can always have them on a tablet or Ipad without weighing myself down. What I do not like is that my assistants do not have the same access to them. I would like to have all of the staff in my classroom be on the same page with the curriculum that I am teaching.
