K5 Web Site Report Card: kiwa digital
About: kiwa digital is bringing a new level of digital book interactivity to a younger generation. it's an interactive read-along digital color picture book format designed by Kiwa Media for young children. kiwa digital is an eBook, iPhone and iPad app that combines a narrator’s voice with original picture illustrations and touchable text, synchronized to highlight and sound when words are touched. There are puzzles and games to enjoy as well.
Features: The books — available as ebooks and as apps for the iPhone and iPad — are created for young children learning to read with text that highlights and sounds words when touched. This touchable text feature can also spell the highlighted word back to the child letter by letter. The entire story can also be read aloud. The books allow users to customize their stories, by painting the illustrations, recording vocal narratives to the stories, and by playing word search and memory pairs games. Created by New Zealand-based Kiwa, there are currently thirty six titles available, with prices ranging from free to US$4.99.
We think: we always like web sites and applications that encourage kids to interact as they learn. kiwa digital certainly do that with its touchable text. For young kids learning to read the selection of fun stories, like Sally Sloth Saves the Day and Sir Charlie Stinky Socks, are illustrated beautifully and fun to read.
It's a great idea for young children learning to read.
