Interactive Pinocchio Storybook

Interactive Pinocchio Storybook

A native speaker of Italian was recorded reading the classic story of Pinocchio. A digital version of the book was created in Flash including the audio. Students could read along, pause, and click on words to hear them alone. They could also select certain passages to see grammar examples, watch videos of various interpretations of Pinocchio in Italian, and at the end play a game where they matched an image with the audio of the word. 

 

This provided an interactive, self-paced method for students to test themselves on comprehension and grammar.
