Book PlayTime from WiseCats: Children Assisted To Soar

Get started with this lite version.

Book Playtime provides children with the opportunity to experience simple stories in two different ways. They can either watch the animated story play for them, or they can enter into the story and play inside it.

They won’t even realise they’re learning to read as it is so much fun.

Children can choose books from a bookshelf.

If they choose the "Watch" option, then the book will be "read" to them in a musical voice, accompanied by music. Each book consists of 4 pages. The book is read through three times; each time at a faster speed.
* Each word is highlighted as it is said.
* Each page of the book is followed by an interlude in which one word from the page is repeated, whilst being presented on screen in handsigns and then as animated letters.

Choosing the "Playtime" option drops them into the first page of a book.

Touching an object in the page performs an action, accompanied by the word being said and a sound.

They can move back and forth through the pages of the book, playing in each page.

The child can also practice writing the letters of a highlighted word on each page.
