Q: Is Start-to-Finish Online switch-accessible?
A: Yes, it includes built in single and two-switch scanning.
Q: Can we try it out before we buy?
A: Sure. We posted a few sample chapters that you can check out. At this time these demo pages are just computer-only (it won’t work on your smartphone or iPad). Visit www.starttofinishbooks.com on your computer and click on "Try The Demo."
Q: Does Start-to-Finish Online include all the same titles as the desktop Start-to-Finish Library series?
A: Currently, 67 chapter book titles are live, and more are on the way.
Q: We purchased a library of Start-to-Finish sets last year, can we get a discount on Start-to-Finish Online?
A: We treat the licenses separately, but you can certainly continue using your current books even after you purchase the online version. The paperback and audio books are actually a good complement to the online version (the pages have a 1:1 correspondence) and you can push the computer CDs out to your classrooms without internet access.
Unlike the Start-to-Finish computer, audio, and paperback book sets, which were sold one title at a time, the new online version includes a complete library of 67 chapter book titles with more on the way. We tried to price the online library affordably (less than the price of an iPad) at $429/site per year for unlimited school and home access.
Q: Can I buy one license for my center and loan books out to other sites?
A: The way it’s set up, each school counts as a site. We priced it affordably (less than the cost of one iPad per site) so that classrooms can have anytime access to the whole library. It’s hard to be fully integrated and UDL with the lending library setup. One thing that was never possible before with the Start-to-Finish lending libraries but is now with the online version is that a classroom can read the same book at the same time without purchasing 15 or more copies of each title.
Q: Will STF Online work with a web proxy or web content filter?
A: Yes, provided www.starttofinishbooks.com is not specifically blocked.
Q: Do I have to sync my devices to get the books on them?
A: This is where the beauty of the cloud shines brightest. You never have to sync devices. If you log in and read a book on your iPad, you can open your laptop later and begin reading where you left off without syncing, ever!
Q: Does Start-to-Finish Online work for students with low vision?
A: Absolutely! Just hit the link to the HTML version of Start-to-Finish, which allows users to enlarge text.
