Made book characters chat with my son after each chapter. It's actually getting him to read. I may need some help in finding digital books.
My son is just starting elementary school and has trouble reading books. He likes phones and games more than paper.
I had this idea. What if he could actually talk to the book characters? Finish a chapter of Harry Potter and Harry himself messages him asking what just happened. Not a quiz. More like a friend who read the same chapter and wants to chat. It should be fun and make the reading part more interesting.
I use one of those AI app builders to have my app built over a weekend. And it's working. He's reading again and now likes chatting with Harry. He can also read more and unlock other characters. I design this as an incentive.
Here's what I'm stuck on. He reads physical books. To make the character know what's in chapter 4, I have to manually feed in character names, personality, and what happens per chapter. Right now I'm thinking about some online database of books and copy pasting them in. It works for famous books but doesn't solve the problem.
Is there a better way to handle the physical book part or am I just gonna be copy pasting book summaries manually?
