KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 (Bernama) -- Me Books Asia announced the launch of their interactive storytelling app on The App Store and Google Play Store recommended for children aged two to nine years old. The launch of the Me Books app comes at a time when the number of young readers has been continually dwindling since the advent of the Internet. Children in the digital age are simply not reading, and Me Books Asia hopes to rekindle society’s love of reading and storytelling through their new app.
“Our mission is grounded in our firm belief that every child deserves equal access to the best educational content, regardless of where they live. There simply should not be such an enormous barrier to entry to reading and learning because English literacy is one of the defining challenges facing Southeast Asia for the current and future generations. Growing up, I was always laughed at by my schoolmates for not being able to speak proper English, hence why I made it a mission of mine to change that for every other kid out there,” said Hao Jin, CEO and founder of Me Books Asia.
Other app highlights include:
● Over 400 children’s books from the best publishers around the world including Oxford Reading Tree, Andersen Press, and ELI Publishing, as well as local publishers like Magicbird Publishing and Oyez.
● Built-in narration with accurate pronunciation and intonation by Benedict Cumberbatch, Sir David Jason, Rik Mayall, Adam Buxton and many other world-class narrators.
● Customisable audio for interactive and collaborative storytelling using the app’s patented draw-and-record feature.
● Offline reading available.
● Supports up to three compatible devices under one user.
● Immersive sound effects to stir the imagination.
