TinkerStories are explicitly intended for parents to teach reading with their children. Our approach, which we term as tinkerability, endows media with dynamic properties by linking words and objects to gestures. This allows readers to play with the link between words and concept. Tinkerability provides children with multisensory contexts within which to learn and associate meaning. It also allows readers to dynamically change the story as they tinker with the story elements. The result is that children explore the relationships between words and concepts earlier and parents are empowered with tools to help them become better storytellers.
