Development and application effect of multimedia teaching resources for children’s literature supported by software

The multimedia resources have emerged as effective tools for enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes with the increasing demand for innovative teaching methods in primary education. Particularly in children’s literature education, traditional teaching methods fall short of fully engaging students and fostering deep comprehension. The integration of interactive multimedia, supported by advanced software and simulation tools, presents a promising alternative for improving the learning experience. Research investigates the development, application, and effectiveness of multimedia teaching resources for children’s literature, aimed at enhancing reading comprehension (RC), cognitive skills (CS), learning outcomes (LO), vocabulary acquisition (VA), emotional engagement (EE), and student engagement (SE). These resources are supported by software tools (Audacity, Scratch, and Krita) with interactive elements designed to immerse students in the learning process. A mixed-methods approach is employed, involving 230 primary school students (ages 7–10) who are divided into an experimental group (using multimedia resources) and a control group (using traditional teaching methods). Reading, vocabulary, interest, and skills were all much enhanced by multimedia training. The findings suggest that multimedia teaching resources, supported by advanced software, significantly enhance children’s literature education by promoting deeper engagement and improved learning outcomes.
