READy. Addressing Disparities in Reading and Writing Acquisition through Personalising Technologies: A Cognitive and Societal Perspective
Description

The project focuses, first of all, on the priority of “tackling learning disadvantages in education”. The project will address the first signs of learning disadvantages in the first two years of primary education with the aim to prevent the further development of learning disorders. In order to tackle learning disadvantages, the project will provide:

- primary school teachers with

a) the knowledge to identify the socio-cognitive risk factors and first signs of reading-writing difficulties and the skills to address them by using effective digital solutions;

b) a platform to assess determinants of reading and writing difficulties at an early stage;

c) game-based activities to empower children’s fundamental cognitive processes of reading and writing.

-1st and 2nd grade pupils with a game-based training on fundamental cognitive processes of reading-writing skills, personalising it to different environmental and individual profiles.

Challenge

1) to enhance primary teachers’ skills on the societal and cognitive underpinnings of literacy acquisition disadvantage and on the digital solutions to tackle them;

2) to identify children at risk for learning and school difficulties;

3) to empower transnationally universal cognitive reading-writing skills across different circumstances.

Approach

1) a training package for primary teachers including national and transnational courses as well exchange workshops in four European countries;

2) an Interactive Evaluation platform for primary teachers to early identify children at risk of literacy difficulties;

3) a Game-based Intervention Toolkit on the cognitive underpinnings of reading and writing;

4) machine learning algorithms and case studies to identify different clusters of needs and learning paths.

Economic and Societal Impact

1) a vast European cooperation sharing knowledge and digitalised procedures to address early difficulties in literacy acquisition;

2) advanced teacher preparation and use of digitised tools to contrast learning disadvantage;

3) innovative educational strategies to early address societal and cognitive needs underlying literacy acquisition;

4) integration of new, evidence-based technological toolkits in the educational practices;

5) personalised education paths supported by machine learning.
