http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/keystage3/respub/en_bigbooks
The Standards Site (UK): Big books for special schools
Five big books suitable for special schools on relevant subjects and in a range of text types have now been developed.
Each book is divided into sections designed to teach explicitly the following conventions of text ..
- Our School - Information
- Planning a Party - Instruction
- A Day at the Zoo - Recount
- Holidays - Discursive and persuasive
- Tom's Painting - Description
Those that are available as electronic versions, are available to download FREE.
Blank equivalents (frame books) for Shared Writing have also been developed to accompany the big books with teachers' notes and guidance on using the sequence for teaching writing to accompany them. Schools by using the frame books will produce and trial their own versions of big books linking with the use of Shared Reading and Shared Writing in the classroom.

Turning the Pages
http://www.bl.uk/collections/treasures/digitisation2.html
Discover the British Library's award-winning system Turning the Pages. Just click on the links, wait a few moments, then turn the pages of our great books.
Turning the Pages is the award-winning interactive program that allows museums and libraries to give members of the public access to precious books while keeping the originals safely under glass. Initially developed by and for the British Library, it is now available as a service for institutions and private collectors around the world.
Turning the Pages allows visitors to virtually 'turn' the pages of manuscripts in a realistic way, using touch-screen technology and interactive animation. They can zoom in on the high- quality digitised images and read or listen to notes explaining the beauty and significance of each page. There are other features specific to the individual manuscripts. In a Leonardo da Vinci notebook, for example, a button turns the text round so visitors can read his famous 'mirror' handwriting.

Making Interactive Big Books on a Computer
In 2000 CEBP won a National Careers Award from the Institute of Careers Guidance for its Big Books with Business. Over 100 books have been created in Birmingham schools using photographs of businesses across the city from many occupational sectors.
In 2001 with the introduction of interactive whiteboards into Birmingham schools we decided to develop Big Books with Business into an interactive format through ICT.
