How to create a picture book for language learning and enlightenment education for 3-5 year olds
Welcome to ReadKidz!
Among the newly upgraded functions of the ReadKidz platform! A special section for picture books for children aged 3-5 is launched, with four carefully designed age groups: 3~3+ years old enlightenment period, 3+~4 years old exploration period, 4~4+ years old growth period and 4+~5 years old improvement period. Each stage is matched with exclusive content, allowing children to acquire the most appropriate knowledge at the most suitable time and enjoy happy growth!
So how do you use the 3-5 years old template to create a picture book for language learning and enlightenment education for this age group?
Step 1: Create a new project
Depending on the age of the children for whom we want to create picture book stories, we can enter the creation portal in the following ways!
Go to the ReadKidz homepage and click on the age card under "Choosing Picture Books by Age" on the right!
Step 2: Subject selection
On the subject selection page, choose the subject according to your own ideas!
① The themes are divided into five categories: Adventure, Fairy Tales, Family, Stories, Activities, and Education! Each category has a sub-category corresponding to the theme!
②After determining the subject matter, we also need to choose the protagonist category and story style!
Step 3: Set size and review subtitles
① Set the size of the picture book according to your own ideas. The sizes are divided into 16:9, 1:1, and 3:4! (Please note: the size of the picture book must be determined in this step and cannot be changed later!)
② Review the subtitles to see if they are the story content you want. You can edit them yourself! The key words marked are the words suitable for learning for this age group! You can delete the "[]" symbol to cancel the mark, or add "[]" to the word you want to mark to mark it!
Step 4: Refine the character
After confirming the subtitles, we need to refine the characters! (Please note: Please make sure not to modify any subtitles before refining the characters, otherwise your modifications will not take effect on the storyboard page!)
① Click “Extract Roles” to extract roles!！
② After extracting the roles, check whether there are any missing or wrong roles in the role list! If so, click "Extract Roles" to extract again, or click "Recovery" in the role list to regenerate the role information!
③ After confirming that the role is correct, click "Confirm Role" to proceed to the next step!
Step 5: Style Selection
After confirming the character, we need to choose a style. The platform currently contains more than 100 styles, which are divided into two categories: classic reissue and official. Select the style you want and proceed to the next step!
Step 6: Character Portrait
After confirming the style, we need to create the character portrait!
① Check the character list to see if there are any missing characters!
② Click the small pencil on the right side of the character to enter the character information editing page!
③ On the character information editing page, there will be corresponding character information according to the character type. Please edit the character information according to the following format! (Please note: If the animal character information editing page shows clothing, please be sure to delete all clothing information!)
Human:
a. Character skin color (required)
b. Character hairstyle (required)
c. Character facial features (required)
d. Character accessories (optional)
e. Character clothing (required for human characters, optional for animal characters)
Animal:
a. Character skin color (required)
b. Character facial features (required)
④ You can modify the description directly. If you add a new description, please be sure to click the "Enter key" and add it within the specified number of characters, otherwise it will not take effect! After the modification is completed, please remember to click "confirm" to save!
⑤ If you are not satisfied with the character portrait generated by the selected style, you can click on the style selection page and reselect the style! After confirming the style, please make sure that the character portraits of all characters are of the same style! And make sure that each character has a character portrait before you can proceed to the next step! (Please note that after clicking to proceed to the next step, you cannot regenerate the character portrait!)
⑥ 4 pictures will be generated at the same time. Select the one that best matches the prompt word! Click "Confirm" after selecting! (Note: After the picture generation is completed, the first picture will be selected by default. If the user wants to change the picture, be sure to click "Confirm" on the selected picture)
Please note that you must make sure that each character has a single character portrait, otherwise you will not be able to proceed to the next step!
Step 7: PPT page
① Check whether the number of slide pages on the left reaches the specified number of subtitles!
② Review the characters that appear in the subtitles to see if they have corresponding character portraits!
③ Click "AI images" in the upper left corner of the subtitle on the canvas page to enter the prompt word editing page!
Check whether the content of the prompt words corresponds to the story subtitles, and whether the number of characters described in the prompt words corresponds to the character portraits!
④ Click “My Prompt” to write your own prompts!
⑤ After the review is completed, click "Generate" to generate the picture. If you are not satisfied with the original picture, you can click "Generate" to regenerate it, or enter the prompt word editing page to adjust the drawing prompt word! (Please note: if there is no prompt word, clicking the Generate button will enter the prompt word page!)
⑥ The generated pictures will be displayed on the right side of the canvas, and users can select one of them. If no picture is selected, the first picture will be selected by default! (Note: Due to platform optimization and upgrade, your historical raw picture data containing 4-in-1 pictures that have not been taken will not be queried!)
