Engaging Interactive Reading Games

Interactive Reading for Kids: Bringing Stories to Life with Reading Apps

At Children Story Time, we are excited to harness the power of interactive reading to ignite imagination and instill a passion for learning in children—through a lens we call C.R.E.A.T.E.: Culture, Re-Making, Expression, Awareness, Technology, and Enterprise. Our groundbreaking series, Chatterbox Creatives, is more than a book—it's an immersive experience. Children dive deep into the enchanting world of Grimm World, solving mysteries and uncovering hidden clues with the help of mobile devices and tablets. Every volume invites readers to explore cultural traditions, reimagine classic tales, and express themselves creatively—all while building awareness of the world around them.

Chatterbox Creatives isn’t just storytelling—it’s a journey of self-discovery. Led by Ava, an 8-year-old creative adventurer, children traverse between the real world and an enchanted realm. Alongside her best friends, Imani and Zander, Ava is on a heartfelt mission to find her missing companion, JBear. Across eight volumes—released seasonally from Winter I: 2025 to Spring II: 2032—young readers encounter puzzles, riddles, and over two dozen DIY crafts. Each craft connects to a QR code leading to 3D videos where Ava demonstrates each activity, bringing learning to life through technology and tactile creativity.

This unique approach invites kids to become makers and doers, remixing the narrative through craft and exploration. With augmented reality (AR) features hidden in each book, children engage deeper with the story by scanning pages to reveal clues and characters in real time. Chatterbox Creatives encourages readers not just to consume a story—but to create their own pathway through it.

Each volume is a rich expression of the C.R.E.A.T.E. values: celebrating diverse cultures, sparking innovation, and empowering youth to see themselves as artists, leaders, and future entrepreneurs. It’s a movement disguised as a magical mystery—and every child who opens the book becomes part of the adventure.
