Alarm! The Literacy Crisis in Developed Countries – How Do We Address the Challenge?
Literacy education in developed countries is strong, but the challenge has shifted from learning to read to understanding the meaning of texts. Many children, particularly boys, struggle with deeply comprehending textbook content. This difficulty is partly due to a decline in leisure reading, which traditionally reinforced literacy skills. Teachers must focus on comprehension by using stress-free methods and including texts chosen by children themselves. Parental support, such as reading aloud and using apps like Tale Reader, plays a crucial role in fostering literacy development.
Unlocking Literacy: A Review of Our Research and Cutting-Edge Digital Learning Platforms Bringing Literacy to All Children
This review highlights our research endeavors to empower children to attain full literacy by cultivating their ability to comprehend and interpret written text.

Full literacy – how does everyone acquire it?
Learning knowledge efficiently by reading requires a skill which we can call full literacy (FL) reflected in PISA results. It can be acquired in two ways. One has first to learn the basic reading skill (BRS), which means readiness to decode or sound out text accurately and fluently. Because BRS is not enough for FL one had to take a second step.
