Frequently asked questions

Explore how Book Creator addresses common challenges faced by teachers and administrators who support multilingual learners.

Book Creator allows students to learn and express themselves in the ways that work best for them—through text, audio, video, and visuals. These multimodal tools support language development across all four domains: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Teachers can use student-created books to show progress over time and align artifacts with language development standards like WIDA, ELPAC (California), ACCESS for ELLs, TELPAS (Texas), and other state-specific assessments. These digital portfolios provide authentic, multimodal evidence of growth in communication skills—capturing listening, speaking, reading, and writing in ways standardized tests often can’t.
