What is it? – This is geared toward lower elementary. Books are divided into categories. For example one of the categories is “People and Places.” Book are paired into fiction and nonfiction. The fiction book typically is able to be watched and is animated and is read aloud. The nonfiction book typically is just able to be read, but included the color illustrations. For example “The Man Who Walked Between the Tower” and a nonfiction book “New York City” are paired together. Besides the paired books there are also games that are related to the books. There are also website links that go along with the book themes. There also is meet the author feature. 
This could be used in the classroom for a shared reading. It also could help with themed units or to have some additional information and go deeper with a theme besides what you already do. This site also seems very easy to use that students could read books with the computer on their own. This could be great differentiation for high or low students.
Additionally on the home page of BookFLIX there also is a “resources” link. With the resources link there is additional ideas and information on paired readings as well as the ability to browse the titles.
