Reading becomes even more exciting to children when they are the main character in the story, and being the hero can help foster a love of reading in those who find it difficult.
Perth author and mother Tracey Regan has developed an iPad app that contains a mini library of eight Lemon Tree Book Company personalised stories, written with 3-7 year olds in mind.
“With our app young readers enter their own names and their friends’ names to be the main characters in the stories. They can even change the names in each story so it’s a new experience whenever they want to read the book again,” said Ms Regan, founder and director of The Lemon Tree Book Company.
