LUKUISA – SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN’S READING

Reading is a central part of learning and schooling. Lukuisa is an application that supports children’s reading by making it visible, motivating and shared between school and home. The application also helps children form regular reading routines as part of their everyday lives.

Lukuisa is not a reading application and does not contain books. Instead, it helps to record books read, track reading and inspire children to take up new works.

WHAT DOES LUKUISA DO?

* Easily records books read
* Supports the creation of reading routines by making reading repetitive and visible
* Enables reading challenges and reading projects created by teachers
* Helps monitor reading progress by class and student
* Makes it easier to find new books to read
* Makes reading rewarding and motivating for children

WHO IS LUKUISA INTENDED FOR?

For students
– helps build a reading routine and visualize one's own reading

For teachers
– supports reading guidance and monitoring of reading projects as part of teaching

For parents
– increases visibility of what is expected of children in terms of reading at school, and facilitates the reinforcement of reading habits that support the child at home

A COMMON TOOL FOR SCHOOL AND HOME

Lukuisa is designed to be used in schools, classrooms and reading projects. Reading takes place with physical books – Lukuisa acts as a support, not a replacement.

The application helps make reading a regular and natural part of everyday life, but leaves pedagogical solutions to the teacher and the responsibility for reading to the child and family.
