StoryTIC is a narrative intervention program to work on the oral narrative skills of preschool children (3 to 6 years).
From Immersium Studio we are creating a web page to transform this intervention program into a digital format with more interactive elements such as Augmented Reality. The intervention program consists of 3 video stories, which we have recorded with our storyteller, who has extensive experience in children’s narrative and gestures. These stories are worked on over 9 sessions and contain a didactic sequence to work on narrative and socio-communicative skills.
We have also recorded several videos with the project specialists where they explain in detail what multimodality consists of (enhancing oral discourse with the body), verbal support (which helps us structure the narrative discourse through various icons such as the protagonist, the problem, the attempted solution, the solution, the end, and the emotions) and gestures (various gestures that can be used to enhance oral and corporal communication).

We are very happy to be able to participate in projects like this where technology makes it possible to improve aspects that are so important to children’s lives, such as narrative, oral and physical skills. The use of stories explained through a storyteller is a very good tool to approach children in a playful way to help them improve their skills. Being able to have a web page where you can access all the content for free is surely very interesting for many schools that can use these intervention programs in their classes. The interaction through Augmented Reality will also boost their interest in this activity that will surely be very useful for many children and teachers.
