Background summary
A is for App is a European project on the potential of apps as interventional tool to address reading fluency problems in children within the primary school context. The study consists of two trials, as we will run both in Belgium and in the Netherlands a RCT, comparing the effects of a game-based intervention for reading fluency problems with those of the conventional intervention approach in resp. Flanders and the Netherlands. Target sample sizes is 60 children (n = 30 experimental condition & n = 30 control condition) per trial.
Study objective
Children in the game-based intervention condition will improve more on reading fluency than those in the standard intervention (TUA) condition.

Intervention
The experimental intervention tested in this study is a cognitive, (serious) game-based intervention focused on the training of reading fluency. The goal of the intervention is to improve reading fluency in children with reading disabilities within the school environment by using digital game-based learning principles. The intervention period will be three months, including training for approx.. 45 minutes per week. In Flanders the used APP will be ‘Karaton’ (see karaton.be), in the Netherlands the used APP will be ‘Squla-RID’.
