Moo-O helps pupils read fluently and expressively through digital puppetry. With the help of a webcam and a microphone, Moo-O immerses pupils in the story that they are reading, transforming them into the story characters. The pupils can make use of the audio features in Moo-O to learn the pronunciation of each word in the story as well as to learn from the reading model to read expressively. The instant feedback, through the replay of the recorded video, in Moo-O helps the pupils understand the need to read expressively.


Please note that Moo-O requires use of a webcam and microphone.
