And just like that 4.5 years of hard work comes to an end - what an exciting, challenging + inspiring project to be a part of! We have achieved so much working together across many different countries and sectors, thank you all. Hopefully it won't be the end of the iRead story...

How do children express their opinions about the games they've played? One participant on the iRead pilot from Sweden gave feedback on Navigo using little drawings of duck faces. Read all about it in a recent blog by iRead colleague Leona Bunting. https://t.co/J0kdJ0c6Li

Big thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's iRead webinar on game-based learning. It was inspiring to hear practitioners and researchers in dialogue about how games may support children's reading skills. Let's keep this important discussion going! @avasalou @ljbenton

New blog post from our iRead team member @LeonaBunting about developing a questionnaire to capture children's reflections about the Navigo game in Sweden. Keep a lookout for the tiny smiley duck faces! https://t.co/J0kdJ0c6Li

#tbt to a few years back when the tablets started arriving.

"Learning to read is challenging, even for witches and wizards." In our new iRead blog set in Hogwarts, @AndreaDGauthier describes the development of interactive dashboards for teachers to help them follow children's progress in reading games. https://t.co/BtiWVFComE

Schools are closing for summer here in Sweden and this means that we are picking up the last of our tablets and saying goodbye to the all wonderful teachers and students who have participated in the project. A sincere thank you- it's been a joy!
