1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors of a machine, a co-occurrence of first and second figurines being within a detection range of a sensor of the machine;
identifying, by one or more processors of the machine, the first and second figurines in response to their detected co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor of the machine;
determining, by one or more processors of the machine, an action word based on the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected;
determining, by one or more processors of the machine, that a database represents the action word in a list of action words and correlates the action word to an animation of a corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines; and
causing, by one or more processors of the machine, a display screen to display the animation correlated to the action word by the database, the displayed animation depicting the corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected.

Abstract
A system for encouraging a child to learn to read, comprising a computing device and at least one physical manipulative, wherein the computing device can identify the physical manipulative and display at least one word relating to the physical manipulative. In an embodiment, a letter identification board with letter manipulatives is included, wherein a child can spell out a word on the letter identification board and the computing device shows an animation of the physical manipulative performing the action indicated by the word.

8. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising; detecting a co-occurrence of first and second figurines being within a detection range of a sensor of the machine; identifying the first and second figurines in response to their detected co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor of the machine; determining an action word based on the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected; determining that a database represents the action word in a list of action words and correlates the action word to an animation of a corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines; and causing a display screen to display the animation correlated to the action word by the database, the displayed animation depicting the corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting a co-occurrence of first and second figurines being within a detection range of a sensor of the machine; identifying the first and second figurines in response to their detected co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor of the machine; determining an action word based on the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected; determining that a database represents the action word in a list of action words and correlates the action word to an animation of a corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines; and causing a display screen to display the animation correlated to the action word by the database, the displayed animation depicting the corresponding action performable by the identified first and second figurines whose co-occurrence within the detection range of the sensor is detected.
