Patel, Priyanka; Torppa, Minna; Aro, Mikko; Richardson, Ulla; Lyytinen, Heikki – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: In 2018, it was found that only a quarter of Grade 3 children in India were reading at grade level. A growing demand for English education has further limited children's literacy achievement. Despite a strong evidence base in favour of using systematic phonics for building English literacy skills, many teachers in India continue to use…
