The Kindergarten teachers at Montrose were looking for a way to have their students see and say the sight words. We decided to use the book creator app on the iPads because it allowed the students to write the word and record themselves saying the word. In the future we could also add pictures to the book. The students used the same iPad and took turns contributing a word to the sight word book. Using this app, we could easily transfer the finished book off of the iPad in the form of an eBook (ePub). After the book is created, you can send it to the iBooks bookshelf for other students to read. I ended up sending the ePub file through Google Drive and was able to open it up using a Google Chrome extension called Readium which did a nice job of playing back their eBook. Take a look at the finished result!
