Interactive storybook

An interactive storybook (or CD-ROM storybook) is a children's story packaged with animated graphics, sound or other interactive elements (e.g., word pronunciation). Such stories are usually published as software on CD-ROMs.

This software is targeted at young readers (usually kindergarten to second grade) for educational purposes.

Examples

Pitfalls

There are studies indicating that some students will simply "cruise through" a story, either just playing with the graphics or not trying to read it themselves.[1]
