| dc.description.abstract | Mobile smart devices are gaining popularity
rapidly. These digital devices facilitate a new generation of
technological tools that offer unprecedented access to
content as well as opportunities for creative use even for
young children. The development of mobile technology
and the proliferation of smartphones have made m-
Learning and e-Learning one of the most efficient
methods of learning. Previous studies have explained the
positive impact of using e-library mobile applications to
develop literacy skills of children. Despite positive
outcomes, Sri Lanka does not have an e-library mobile
application for children to improve their reading and
writing skills in both Sinhala and English. A solution to
overcome this problem is to develop an e- library mobile
application for kids. Story Catcher e-library mobile
application contains books, poems, and songs in both
Sinhala and English languages with the special
narrating feature which helps kids to learn correct
pronunciation and to improve verbal fluency, and
communication skills. Special features like a screen time
management option for parental control and to avoid
overuse, an interactive game for the kids and an option
to add or remove any book, song and poem from favourites
are included in this mobile application. This research
paper proposes a novel method to improve the literacy
skills of kids in Sri Lanka. | en_US |
