Wordcraft: Build a world with words
Team members
Advisor
We believe that linguistic skills involve an implicit focus on the meaning or intention of what one is trying to communicate. Our hypothesis is that a child's metalinguistic ability can be strengthened by providing visual feedback.
Wordcraft, is an interactive iPad application where children (ages 4 - 8) can build sentences and immediately see the sentences visualized. In this way, we create a concrete representation of oral language and also allow for linguistic manipulations. The app is structured in a game-like format to increase engagement and encourage play.
