Reading, Persistence and Virtual Characters
Are you worried about kids who struggle to read?
Interested in encouraging science literacy from an early age?
We’re looking for K-5 school teachers in Science and Reading to help us develop a new activity for Relay Reader, an application dedicated to cultivating confident and persistent readers. As part of this new activity, 2nd-grade students will be asked questions and given feedback from a virtual character after they read portions of a text. We want your help in creating characters and interactions that will most effectively promote learning, motivation, self-confidence, and interest.
Participants will receive $100 in compensation for a completed session, in exchange for their shared knowledge and expertise.
What To Expect:
- 90-minute virtual focus group
- Participant identities and responses will be kept confidential
- Opportunity to generate and review mockups that predict and illustrate student interactions with characters in Relay Reader
To participate please fill out our application form – we’ll get back to you ASAP! Focus groups will take place between December 2 and February 28.
