New version of Letter Prince: a game to teach children to read better

Lancering Letterprins op 14 oktober 2022 - How can you teach seven-year-olds to read better? Just let them play a game. Friday 14 October 2022 was the launch of a new version of the 'Letter Prince' reading app, an online game that teaches children to read or improve their reading skills. "We don't have to confront children with long lists of words or boring fill-in-the-blanks exercises," said psycholinguist Esther Steenbeek, co-developer of the game. This educational game enables children to improve their reading skills at home. The Letter Prince loses his letters in a castle. The player helps the prince in his search and finds new exercises in every tower. "The new version has been further adjusted to the scientific knowledge of how children enjoy learning and how they learn best," said researcher Esther Steenbeek.
