In this innovate storybook app, parents can record themselves reading their children’s favorite books out loud, making it easy for developing readers to follow along. The app is free to download, and users create storybooks by capturing the cover and pages via their device’s camera, and capturing video of themselves reading the book, page by page. Users can create the first two books for free, and purchase unlimited access to the app for 2.99. Once a recorded book is created, it can be shared with family and friends, allowing even distance friends and relatives to connect with their loved ones. The app requires adult assistance, as book readings must be created, but enjoying the resulting reading is suitable for kids ages 2 and up.
Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks, especially shifting attention.
The accompanying video and audio of a loved one reading to your child is a great way to increase attention and keep your child focused on the story. By adding guest readers such as grandparents, distant relatives and family friends, your child will have something exciting waiting for them each time a new book is shared by a loved one.
The first steps towards proper reading comprehension is phonological awareness, so having the ability to hear words and phrases expressed correctly by a trusted family member is a crucial aspect of helping young minds grow into proper development. Use of this app is a great way to get kids excited to read, as it allows family outside of the household environments to become active members of your child's reading development.
