selection of a suitable application for the Czech Republic and its evaluation in the environment of a school counselling centre and in a non-profit organisation for supporting children with learning difficulties;
defining characteristics that should be met by a suitable app for the development of reading fluency; creating methodological materials for the use of apps in school classrooms, especially when working with pupils with reading difficulties - The Toolkit for teachers is available here.
Creation of a framework that will enable the use of the knowledge gained in the project in everyday inclusive pedagogical practice;
building an international community focused on further use of educational and game-based applications to promote literacy; raising general awareness in this area
