Dear Teachers and Parents, thank you for taking time to find out more about our research project.

This project, supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, is designed to develop new learning games focused on improving children’s vocabulary and early literacy skills.

Please look at the information below about each learning game, and watch the example videos of our robotic support tutor to find out more about the project. All educational technology requires careful research and development to understand its actual effectiveness and also to clearly document any shortcomings to address in future projecs. We thank you for your consideration of our project and will be glad to answer any questions regarding it.

Our work receives support from people who care about early education. Thanks to K5 Learning for providing educational resources.
