Filled with adventure around every corner, Duh Color Stuff plunges kids deep into a mystery as they join their cyber friends, the Neighborhood Watch Kids, make their rounds to make sure all is well. This app takes storytelling and reading to a whole new level, introducing new readers to the concept of reading, while enhancing reading skills for those who need practice, all in a plot-twisting, clue-seeking storyline.
The app is more than an interactive storybook, it actually allows players to plan out their plot, letting them make small decisions along the way that help them choose how the story unfolds. This serves to engage the kids even more. The interactive exercises break up the reading and build up other skills.
In Duh Color Stuff, kids become immersed in a story rich with mythical characters and a group of clever kiddos who know what to look for and know how to keep the neighborhood safe. Kids join up with this gang of brainiacs to make sure anything that is amiss is caught and addressed. It forces kids to look at detail and to look at the big picture, using both skillsets to come to a decision, when needed.
The options to read or be read to make this app the perfect learning tool. Kids can start off new stories and have them be narrated. Younger readers who are narrated dont have to worry about flipping pages, as this is done automatically. As readers advance, their participation increases. Once they become comfortable with the storyline and main idea, they could switch over to reading it themselves.
