As best practice awarded- EU funded project

AdAPPtive is the follow-up Erasmus+ project after the EU awarded AisforApp Project (2018-2021)

Given that one in five 15-year old EU citizens is not functionally literate, new ways to tackle the acquisition of effective reading skills are imperative.This Erasmus + part-funded project (AdAPPtive) aimed to continue the work of a previously EU-funded project (A is for APP) to focus on:

-The effective use of digital apps in the instruction of struggling readers in primary school, which at the start of the project was considered infrequent.
- The impact of digital apps on the learners and teachers involved.
- The impact of Communities of Practice (CoPs) on the use of reading apps in the classroom.
