Below are three great iPad apps to enhance your kids reading skills through the use of interactive digital storytelling. The apps allow kids to interact with the stories they read using a variety of tools such as colouring, moving items in the story, changing sounds and many more.
1- Story Time for Kids
Story Time is an interactive story telling app that is bundled with beautifully illustrated story books for children. Each story is bundled with original colourful illustrations, narrations and sound effects! With Story Time, reading is so much fun. All the stories highlight the text as its read along. Children not only read but also learn how to read and pronounce the words clearly.
Kids play and interact with Harry as he struggles to find out what’s wrong with his new monster. The multiple games are intertwined with the story so that the player can help push the action forward. Kids sail a pirate sea, target-shoot soup into a monster's mouth, help get Harry and Zub though a maze and more - plus, every screen has hidden activities and surprises!
3- Monster Moogle
Monster Moogle develops creative thinking, artistic ability and skill in children. This app has an interactive storybook and collage maker that inspires kids to engage with their imagination by creating unique characters and short stories.
