Thrilled to receive funding for our NRO project LeesKans: towards optimal interactive development of
early literacy and motivation! 📚
We will be developing and implementing a new ‘dynamic assessment’ tool to differentiate early reading
problems in a new way; based on learning potential rather than snapshots of already available knowledge. This will lead to fairer (reading) opportunities!
Project LeesKans is a collaborative project with consortium partners at UM (Milene Bonte), VU Amsterdam (Nienke van Atteveldt), RID dyslexie (Jurgen Tijms), UvA (Eddie Brummelman), IPABO (Inouk Boerma), Erasmus MC (Hanneke Scholten) en game design studio Game Tailors.
Two PhD vacancies! Join our team on an exciting project bridging science and practice! Learn how to perform developmental brain research in children and design new measures for the early prediction of dyslexia.
