SPEAKABOOS

I previewed the site Speakaboos.  At first I really loved the site.  It had so much to offer.  It was very aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.  It has stories, songs, games, nursery rhymes and even printables. I was also thrilled that the stories were also in Spanish!  The stories we divided up by theme and were displayed in a cute "town" with different sections for each one.  These themes included; sports, fairy tales, food, sports, animals, ABC's and adventures.  I was very excited and ready to use it the next day in class.....then I saw a little counter at the bottom that said I only had four stories left!  I clicked the subscribe button and found that my first month would cost me .99 cents and after that would be $4.99.  I did see that you could contact them for bulk rates for schools.  I am interested enough in this great site to pay the first month to see if it is something that I could use in my classroom but I am unsure if I would continue my membership since our school already subscribes to TumbleBooks.  I did think that this site had more options and after the trial may propose a switch to Speakaboos.
