Welcome to the iSammy Demo Video. iSammy is an interactive storybook where your
child records words or phrases into each page that relate to the plot or even their own
lives. The app promotes reading comprehension, brings
your child's imagination into the story, and communicates feelings of the main character,
Sammy the Suitcase. So here's how it works.
Before you start to read iSammy, explain to your child that there's a blank on each page
and they should think of a word or phrase to fill in the blank.
As you read each page aloud, pause at the cloud. Press and hold it down while your child
recites their imagined word or phrase. "No one seemed to want a little purple suitcase
anymore. The shiny newer suitcases were picked for all the vacations. Sammy felt ___________."
See how the clould turns red as you're recording? "really sad and upset"
Next, find the moose and squirrel on the page and let the fun begin!
If a recording did not turn out like you wanted or your child asks to try it again, you can
erase an individual cloud recording. To erase swipe up, then down, without lifting
your finger off the top of the green cloud. And listen for the sound, which confirms its
been erased. To turn a page, make a long swipe, like this.
If your swipe is too short or too quick, maybe the page won't turn, but just try again.
We hope you have lots of fun learning to read with Sammy the Suitcase, and please leave
us some feedback on the App Store if you like it!
Thanks.
