ABC Stories
Project Overview
ABC Stories is an augmented reality application that uses a gamified level system to teach handwriting to children of all abilities. Each level is designed to build on the previous level while offering a positive and engaging teaching environment.
ABC Stories' level system is designed with the following learning strategies:
*Pre-Writing Level focusing on letter formation
* Level 1 - Letter matching/recognition
* Level 2 - Letter imitation
* Level 3 - Letter copying featuring ten fully animated and narrated stories that play out in augmented reality. Each chapter is unique and offers the user the chance to play a pivotal role in each story
* Level 4 - Independent Letter Writing
ABC Stories allows each user to create an account and keep track of their progress on its companion website.
