This document summarizes a proposed educational project called "Children Learning to Read to Learn". The project would develop an interactive educational software system that teaches early-age children reading and general knowledge using iPads/tablets. The system would present story texts alongside animated visuals to teach both reading skills and topic knowledge. It aims to help children learn at their own pace in multiple languages. The system would track each child's performance data to help teachers identify strengths and weaknesses. The project is seeking input and volunteers to further develop the technical aspects and educational content of the proposed system.
