Two books from Sesame Workshop now in Nokia Store. Interactive Rich Reading trial concluded.

Today, we have made two Interactive Rich Reading titles from Sesame Workshop available for Symbian^3 devices on the Nokia Store:  100th Day of School, and Big Block Party.  Now, parents have more ways to engage with their children through fun and interactive reading activities. 

The Interactive Rich Reading experience is the product of a collaboration between Sesame Workshop and Nokia Research Center. Elmo asks questions about each page to encourage more discussion between children and parents around the topics of book.  Research has shown that the more kids talk about a book during the reading experience, the better their vocabulary development.  We encourage parents to use this application to read more with their children.

We thank all of our BetaLabs users for helping us polish this application for final release.  Nokia will continue to work with Sesame Workshop to broaden the selection of titles and supported languages, as well as to release this experience on Windows Phone 7.
