Would you? Could you? On a tablet? Analytics of children's ebook reading

Abstract

It is difficult to overstate the importance of literacy for adequate functioning in society, from educational attainment and employment opportunities to health outcomes. We created a reading app with the goal of helping readers improve their reading skill while reading for meaning and pleasure, and used it to collect unique data on children's extended reading. Analysis of the data reveals the importance of a behavioral factor in understanding observed reading performance.
