Enlarging Text and Images in a NOOK Kids
Book
If text on the page of a NOOK Kids book is too small
to read, double-tap on the text area to enlarge it.
In books with audio tracks, enlarged text will also
display a Play button (an orange triangle) at the top
left corner. To play the audio associated with the
enlarged text, tap once on the Play button. To close
the text box, double-tap it again, or tap anywhere
else on the page.
To zoom in on text and images, simply pinch out
to stretch the image on screen. Touch and slide to
move your focus around the screen. Double-tap to
return to viewing the page at its normal size and
position.
Hearing a Book Read Aloud
Read & Listen and Interactive books feature an
audio track. Tap the Read to Me button or the
Read and Play button to hear the story read aloud
as you turn the pages. The NOOK Kids book will
play the audio track by default if you open the front
cover of one of these books.
Read and Play Books
If a NOOK Kids book displays the Read and Play
button with a star symbol on its first screen, that
book includes special activities that enable readers
to interact with the book's content. Pages with
activities display an Activity button with a white star
at the top of the page. Tap the Activity button to start
or stop the activity.
Note: When you're engaged in a Read and Play
activity, use the right arrow and left arrow onscreen
to turn pages. When an activity is live, gestures like
tapping and swiping interact with the activity; they
don't turn pages.
Some activities end automatically. Other activities
continue until you stop them. To stop an activity, do
one of the following:
•
Tap the stop button in the center top of the page.
– or –
•
Tap the left- or right-page-turn arrow to stop the
activity and turn the page.

Recording Yourself Reading a Book
You can record yourself reading a NOOK Kids book,
save the recording, and play it back.
To record yourself reading a NOOK Kids book,
do this:
1. Tap the cover of the NOOK Kids book you want
to record.
2. On the opening screen of the book, tap the
Read and Record button. Your NOOK opens the
book to the first page.
3. Press the Record button and read the two-page
spread. When you start to record, the Record
button changes to a Stop button. You'll know
you're recording because a red indicator will
circle the stop button. Here are some tips for
making the best possible recording:
•
Do not cover up the microphone with your
hand when recording.
•
Hold the device between 12" to 18" from
your face.
•
The microphone works best when there is no
background noise.
4. When you have finished reading the spread, tap
Stop or turn the page.
•
If you would like to hear the spread you have
recorded, press the Play button. Press the
Pause button when you have finished listening.
•
If you would like to re-record the spread,
press the Re-record button. A dialog box
appears, asking if you want to re-record this
spread now. Tap Yes. When you have finished
recording, press Stop.
•
To exit the recording at any time, tap the Done
button (the button with a blue check mark) in
the lower left corner of the screen.
•
To continue recording, swipe or tap to turn to
the next page and tap Record.
5. Continue recording and turning pages until you
have finished the book. At the end of the book,
next to the back cover, press the Done button at
the top of the screen. Your NOOK opens a dialog
box for giving your recording a title and labeling
it with a picture.
