Using the Record and Play Tools

The Record and Play tools allow children to add their own voices and sound effects to a book. They are available from Read, Write, and My Book. Using these tools they can record their ideas, read text from the book, or read text that they have written. They can record, listen to, re-record, and save their recordings until satisfied.

Make sure a microphone is active on the computer before using the Record and Play tools.
