Classic Libs for Android
Select your story from the list, fill in the blanks with the requested words and they will be inserted into the stories. The words you enter will show up in all capitals so you know where the text has been changed.
Don't want to pick a word? Leave it empty and a blank line will be inserted into the text so you can pick it at the time you are reading.
Customize the story with your name, try to guess the correct word for each blank, or just enter non-sense to twist the story into something funny.
The story list is filled with 20 Public Domain Titles. The first paragraph or two of the story is presented for you to ad-lib. If you want to read the rest of the story or see how the actual text reads there is a button that will take your web enabled device to a page to view or download the entire book.
For the holidays the full poem of "Twas The Night Before Christmas" is included.
Moby Dick was such a snore, but this app made it a lot more fun to read! I love classic literature, so it was fun to play around with some of these stories to see them in a new way (especially the ones I didn't really enjoy the first time). Gulliver's Travels and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz were especially great fun filling in my own descriptions and names. Can't wait to share these with my classroom and my kids! It will make vocab lessons and reading time much more fun!

There were few stories, and few words to ad lib. Not one of the better apps in this genre
