App Description

Spring Changes is a 32-page app for children aged 4-7. The most important changes of the spring season are told in brief, simple words and shown in beautiful seasonal photographs. This sensory-based exploration of the seasons is enhanced by textural backgrounds (leaves, clouds, sheep fur, and bird feathers, for example) that fill the pages behind the main photos and text. This is science for the early childhood set: brief text that teaches basic concepts and beautiful photographs that encourage children’s own observations of the world.

"Spring Changes" is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn. The app is based on Ellen B. Senisi’s book by the same name.

Key features include

Personalization of voice and text:

★ Kids can become their own narrator or listen to their parents narrate the book.

★ Interactivity allows kids to personalize the sentence, create new action words and sharpen their vocabulary skills

Three ways to read the book

★ "Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style. After the narration finishes on a page the child can interact with objects till they are ready to move to the next page.

★ "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.

★ "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience.

All three ways of reading can be played in your own voice with personalized sentences.

Features on each page

★ Professional narration by a 10 year old girl

★ Image and word association vocabulary builder - when an image is touched the associated word is spoken and the written word displayed.

★ Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted.
★ Touch a word to hear it being spoken.
