Here are some ideas for creating an online book that could be displayed with page turning effects. Adding some page turning effects is a nice touch online publications like students’ creative writing and or picture books.
Here are the three tools recommended for creating online books that have page turning effects.
Canva + Heyzine
Canva has thousands of templates for creating all kinds of books, yearbooks, slideshows, and more. Canva also has an integration with Heyzine that you can use to add page turning effects to any multiple page design that you’ve created in Canva.
You can use Heyzine without using Canva. Heyzine will work with any PDF that students have created.
WriteReader
WriteReader is an online writing and publishing tool built for elementary schools. Completed books are displayed with page turning effects. But that’s not the best part of WriteReader. The best part is found in how you give feedback to your students. Students write their stories on the digital pages in WriteReader and you provide feedback and correction directly below what they’ve written. It’s much like the old three-lined handwriting paper that you might have used as a child or perhaps as a teacher. Watch this video to learn more about how WriteReader works.
* WriteReader is a Freemium subscription which means you have access to a basic subscription for free but can pay for additional features.
Book Creator
Book Creator is a tool recommended for creating multimedia books. Depending on the template used, the finished product can be displayed with page turning effects. This is particularly nice when students have included audio in the book and include a little “turn the page” prompt. Here’s an overview of how to use Book Creator and here’s a video highlighting two favorite features of Book Creator.
