“We believe digital devices such as the iPad, iPhone and other devices are great tools to enhance the learning process,” said Graham Farrar, founder of iStoryTime. “The fact that we’ve received a large amount of feedback from parents with autistic children makes us feel that our efforts in reinventing the art of storytelling is making a positive difference.”
A longtime family favorite with over 16 million copies in print, parents will love introducing Biscuit to their children and helping them discover just how the little yellow puppy got his name. Parents and their children can enjoy learning to read with Biscuit together or young readers can explore on their own through independent play.
After school or before bedtime, children will enjoy the story as well as activities such as a digital coloring book, memory game (iOS only) and puzzle that are perfect for little fingers. The completed coloring masterpieces can be shared with family and friends too.
Developed in-house by iStoryTime, every page of Meet Biscuit features narration, animations and sounds, and beautiful illustrations by Pat Schories, which all come together to bring author Alyssa Satin Capucilli’s wonderful and popular book to life.
Key benefits of the app for early readers include:
Improve reading comprehension by selecting between two narration options: “Read to Me” or “Read to Myself”.
Reinforce cause-and-effect with silly animations and humorous sounds throughout.
Develop early reading skills with text that highlights as the narrator reads
Enjoy a fun memory game, which encourages young readers to match pairs of characters.
Promote creative thinking with the fantastic coloring book—the color-in-the-lines mode is perfect for little fingers, and the art can be shared with friends.
Bonus: There are hidden balls on every page. See how excited Biscuit gets when they are collected.
