Bookshelf

The Bookshelf is an activity in the Classroom in JumpStart 2nd Grade. It is designed to teach language arts for second graders.

Characters

 * Edison

Description
First, the player must choose a book from the bookshelf, and then choose which story from the book they'd like to read.

The player must complete the stories by filling in the blanks. Each blank has a note underneath it which tells what type of word belongs there, such as a color or a place. There is a group of words in front of the book, and the player must click and drag words to the blanks. When a word is placed in a blank space, if it is correct, part of a picture will appear on the opposite page. When the player has finished filling in the page with words, the page with the picture will be completed.

The entire story is finished once the player has completed all of the pages in it.
