What are Bedtime Stories?
It is a new initiative offered by EdCity to provide quality educational bedtime stories for parents to accompany children to spend the bedtime moment.
The animated stories aim to
- Enhance parent-child relationships through reading together
- Instil values into children with a lightweight method by engaging plots and graphics in the animated stories
- Provide an English language environment for students to learn English
Features of the stories
- Professionally curated content with positive value, with pause for reflection
- Specially designed images and animation suitable for children bedtime stories
- Vocal speed is specially paced for ease of listening
- Difficult words are explained in the videos to increase children vocabulary list through leisure reading
Stories were created with AI-assistance in different themes: Kindness counts, Adventure time, Friends and family, and The world around us.
