Disney Story Realms now available in French, Italian, German and Spanish!
Kuato Studios’ award-winning Disney Story Realms app is now available in local languages in France, Italy, Germany and Spain. This comes as a recent UN policy brief found that “in most European countries, children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are more likely to lack reading opportunities, a quiet room and parental support.”
Disney Story Realms is a fully illustrated interactive storybook app designed to make learning engaging and fun for children aged between four and nine. The app’s unique story-driven experiences aim to support early learning development and storytelling skills through a series of mini games based on familiar and well-loved Disney characters – Frozen, Toy Story 4, Moana, The Lion King and most recently Aladdin.
The games include everything from puzzles and word searches, to painting and hidden object activities to help children with problem-solving and to stimulate creativity. The app also includes movie re-telling storybooks to help improve reading skills, as well as gesture-based games to support children with their own movement and thinking capabilities.
With children’s learning and development having been negatively impacted by the pandemic, Disney Story Realms is an invaluable resource for children, teachers and parents.
Mark Horneff, Managing Director, Kuato Studios commented: “Children’s literacy rates around the world have been significantly affected by the pandemic and it is more important than ever that we help to bridge the gap in innovative ways. Meeting children where they are and blending learning with the digital environments they find fun and engaging is one way of achieving this.
“Disney Story Realms was designed to be constructive and educational for all children, but accessibility was a particularly important consideration for us. Growing up with dyslexia, I always found reading incredibly difficult and so it was something I just wasn’t interested in until I discovered my passion for reading through comics. Disney Story Realms has over 1M+ downloads and I’m delighted that we can now bring the fun learning activities to children in France, Germany, Italy and Spain in their native languages.”
Disney Story Realms is available to download on the App Store and Google Play.
