Verwimp, Cara; Snellings, Patrick; Wiers, Reinout W.; Tijms, Jurgen – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Learning which letters correspond to which speech sounds is fundamental for learning to read. Based on previous experimental studies, we developed a serious game aiming to boost letter-speech sound (L-SS) correspondences in a motivational game environment. Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of this game in…
