Deploying design-based, mixed-methods research, the study Raising Readers (Phase 1) explores how technology can be best used to strengthen parent and carer engagement with children’s reading in Kenya. In close collaboration with Worldreader, a digital reading organisation, five co-designed modalities (parental training, feedback loops, nudges/messaging, incentives, and reading celebrations) were tested in 14 schools across Nairobi and Kiambu counties over 12 weeks in 2022. The intervention...
