ANIMATION AND AUDIO
Readers can influence the outcome with a touch. Surprises keep young readers on track while demonstrating the difference between inappropriate and positive behavior.
BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION IN ACTION
As children read the stories, they are able to see behavioral modification in action. For example, a young reader may touch a character’s face and be rewarded with a big smile.
