Evidence-based psycholinguistic principles to remediate reading problems applied in the playful app Letterprins: A perspective of quality of healthcare on learning to read

The present study described a new reading game (Letterprins), designed to improve the reading development of children with reading problems. Letterprins contains a series of reading-related tasks, based on previous research, which have been shown to facilitate children’s reading development. In order to ensure treatment fidelity integrity the game is played in collaboration with a parent or caregiver. The parent/caregiver needs to indicate the correctness of the child’s responses. The app adjusts the exercises based on the child’s performance, and thereby optimizes learning. The app addresses reading development at the sound, word, and sentence level, and thereby captures a large range of the stages in early reading development
