This project aims to enhance the reading experience for slow learners through the integration of augmented reality into a storybook. The project is designed to address issues faced by slow learners, such as a lack of interest in traditional storybooks and a deficiency of tools for slow learners in schools. The main objective is to design 3D modelling for the AR storybook, to develop an interactive storybook for a slow learner by using augmented reality technology and to evaluate the usability of the application. The development approach uses an agile technique to accomplish these goals, and the AR type that was selected is marker-based on the Android mobile platform. This choice is made for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness in producing high-quality goods. To assess the success of the project, usability testing is conducted among educators and parents of slow learners in several schools. The testing successfully demonstrates that the interactive storybook can assist slow learners in reading, achieving results of 70% and higher. This indicates that the project's objectives have been successfully attained. Moving forward to the future work that the interactive storybook will be able to across various platform and offer language option in multiple languages.
