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 centre 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 Children's book, save the recording, and play it back.
To record yourself reading a NOOK Children's book, do this:
1. Tap the cover of the NOOK Children's book you want to record.
2. On the opening screen of the book, tap the green Read and Record button.
Your NOOK opens the book to the first page.
3. Press the green 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.
• If the Record button is blocking the text you want to read, press the move button and drag the buttons
to another part of the screen.
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 dialogue 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 tick) in the lower left-
hand corner of the screen.
5. To continue recording, swipe or tap to turn to the next page and tap Record.
6. Continue recording and turning pages until you have finished the book.
