Create your own read-along audio books with Digitells, a new software program developed by local mom and Ms. Northern San Diego Giselle Uffens. The software allows users to combine music, sound effects, and their voice as they create a read-along recording for their kids. This fun and educational program will promote positive attitudes toward reading and help kids get ahead while they listen to the voices of loved ones. When Uffens lost her mom to cancer, she decided to create Digitells as a way for families to preserve a part of themselves that will live on for children and grandchildren. Once you record a book, you can burn it to a CD or audio file so that children can take it anywhere and read along with a familiar voice. (888/317-3941, www.digitells.com) RINA VAN ORDEN
