Abstract
A system for encouraging a child to learn to read, comprising a computing device and at least one physical manipulative, wherein the computing device can identify the physical manipulative and display at least one word relating to the physical manipulative. In an embodiment, a letter identification board with letter manipulatives is included, wherein a child can spell out a word on the letter identification board and the computing device shows an animation of the physical manipulative performing the action indicated by the word.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors in communication with a sensor, at least two figurines;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a word that corresponds to an action performable by the at least two figurines;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that the word is correlated by a database to an animation, the correlated animation depicting the action performable by the at least two detected figurines;
- and
- initiating, by the one or more processors, display of the animation that depicts the action that corresponds to the word and is performable by the at least two figurines.
Apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, via a sensor, at least two figurines;
- determining a word that corresponds to an action performable by the at least two figurines;
- determining that the word is correlated by a database to an animation, the correlated animation depicting the action performable by the at least two detected figurines;
- and
- initiating display of the animation that depicts the action that corresponds to the word and is performable by the at least two figurines.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, via a sensor, at least two figurines;
- determining a word that corresponds to an action performable by the at least two figurines;
- determining that the word is correlated by a database to an animation, the correlated animation depicting the action performable by the at least two detected figurines;
- and
- initiating display of the animation that depicts the action that corresponds to the word and is performable by the at least two figurines.
