Exploring Promising Interactive Features in Interactive Picture Books for Preschool Children: An Observational Study

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Interactive picture books have become popular reading materials for preschool children in recent years, as they employ digital technology to present content in a multi-sensory way and encourage children to interact with the materials. In this study, we observed the behavior of 5-year-old children while they interacted with interactive picture books. Our findings suggest that children prefer dragging than tapping in the interactive picture books used in our study, and these features may have a potentially positive impact on story memory which we suggest further studies. Based on the analysis of children's behavior in interactive picture books and relevant research, this paper proposes issues that should be noted in the design of interactive features in interactive picture books.
