Publisher Description
It s Miko s birthday, and he s as excited as can be. It s also his friend Mimiki s birthday, but Miko is the only one who gets any presents. Miko would like to share with him, but it isn t so easy to find something Mimiki can play with too. How can they have fun with the toys together to make it the best double birthday ever? This is a charming story about what birthdays really mean, and a great way to talk about sharing and friendship. Miko, Double Birthday is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn. The app is based on Brigitte Weninger, Stephanie Roehe s book by the same name, illustrated by Stephanie Roehe. It is the fourth book app of the famous Miko series. KEY EDUCATIONAL THEMES: - Teach them the joy of loving and sharing with their friends. -Teach them shapes by pointing to the various building blocks (e.g. square, rectangle, triangle, etc.) EXTEND THE LEARNING! ASK YOUR CHILD: - To make a skyscraper or a house from building blocks? -By pointing to various things in the book, ask them to name the colors of the objects ENHANCE CREATIVITY BY PERSONALIZING THE STORY: - You can write your own version of the text for the book - Personalize the narration: kids or parents can re-record the narration to make it their own! DEVELOP READING SKILLS WITH THESE LITERACY TOOLS: - Image and word association vocabulary builder - when an image on the screen is touched, the associated word is spoken and the written word is displayed. - Karaoke effect - when a word is spoken during narration then the word is highlighted. - Touch a word to hear it being spoken in Read Myself mode (almost like training wheels for new readers) THREE WAYS TO READ THE BOOK: 1) "Read to me" - Listen to the narrated story while the text is displayed Karaoke style. After the narration finishes on a page the child can interact with objects until they are ready to move to the next page. 2) "Auto Play" - same as "Read to Me" except the page advances automatically once the narration is finished. Useful for those long car rides when you want the child to have a complete book experience. 3) "Read myself" - There is no narration but the child can touch a word to hear it being spoken aloud.
