The stories are written and illustrated in an engaging and entertaining way. How can the Young David Books app instil a love of the Bible in young children? In that sense it is child-directed learning. The story may stay the same, but the way they experience changes with each reading. The child feels empowered because they can determine what happens on each page. On one page a little figure will pop up at a window when you touch it, on another page it won't. Watching children interact with the apps is very eye opening. The digital enhancements draw on this desire to actively participate in stories. Children at schools where I read the print version of the Young David Books love to take part in the stories by pretending they have their own catapults to fire at an imaginary hairy beast or giant. My daughter draws pictures when I read to her at bedtime. Can you say what benefits you think the conversion of the print books to the digital space brings to the children’s experience of the stories?Ĭhildren love to touch, feel and be actively involved in the stories they read or have read to them. It’s difficult to describe them simply as ‘books’. Your Young David Books have been converted into highly interactive experiences for children.
