Given that successful reading requires the development of both basic reading skills and comprehension skills, it is important to understand how to support children in their reading comprehension skills development, in addition to providing them with the opportunities to develop the basic reading skills. According to the previous studies, dialogic reading can enhance the children’s abilities to improve their reading comprehension. This study strove to develop a media application to support the improvement of children’s reading comprehension by using interactive media technology. We developed the Interactive Story Book (iStoryBook) to support dialogic reading between parents and children. In order to realize it, we surveyed previous studies, extracted promising strategies, and applied them to interactive media technologies. iStoryBook provides a parent-involved children’s reading process that will improve children’s reading comprehension without making excessive demands. At the end of this paper, we introduce the results of in-depth interviews with experts after their use of the iStoryBook.
