EPPics is a project that focuses on the concept of creating personalised stories to foster pre-reading skills in preschool children. The children, together with their teachers and parents, are engaged as co-designers in a collaborative design approach. After describing the theoretical foundation of my work, I will detail the steps that I have taken so far: a preliminary user study conducted in a preschool in Lugano and a series of interviews to create child personas. I will then outline the next steps in my research: the design of a interactive storytelling app for children, and the design of a conversational agent to help parents read with their children.
