This web platform is preferably for kids between ages 6-12, due to the interaction level these ages offer. Wink will be consisting of two sections: Reading and making. Reading part of the platform will be including a library of interactive stories written by me. This section is to merely enjoy reading/experiencing the already existing stories. Making section will be focused on altering an existing story in various ways or writing from scratch. The ways kids can alter the stories is through adding a jingle, reading out loud or adding sound effects on either the story they create or an existing one in library. Templates, keywords, prompts, images for creating a story will be available to help kids get started if preferred. Ideally, later on, the aim is to have a feature that enables children to share the stories they create with each other. \ No newline at end of file +Wink is a prototype which contains a children’s story I wrote and am making into an interactive experience, in relation to my research. Throughout this year, I hosted three workshop with kids between the ages 6-8 where we read "Bee Within" the story I wrote and played improvisation games around this theme; games including sound, acting, drawing. The main aim is to make the reading experience more fun for children and to make them re-visit the text to read through the multiple narratives in the story. \ No newline at end of file
