Dear colleagues,
My research team is recruiting children aged between 4 to 6 years and their
parents who speak English to participate in a new Virginia Tech Storytime
study (IRB# 23-748). The purpose of this study is to evaluate an
interactive book reading platform designed by our team, to enhance the
joint reading of eBooks by using AI.
Study participation involves two Zoom sessions totaling 75-minutes (Session
1: 40 minutes + Session 2: 35 minutes). During your sessions, you and your
child will read two storybooks using the interactive platform and answer
questions. Families will be compensated with a $25 USD Amazon gift card for
their time upon completion of the visits. The session will be audio/video
recorded for research purposes.
For more information, please complete this interest form:

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our research team at
codeslab at vt.edu.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely,
Dr. Caroline Hornburg (co-PI) and Dr. Koeun Choi (PI)
