WriteReader ApS

WriteReader is a book creator app that teaches children to read by helping them write their own e-books for iPhone and iPad.

“Learn to read by writing”, is what WriteReader ApS is all about. WriteReader is an impressive book creator app for children aged 3-10, available for iPad, iPhone and iPod where children can use their imagination to create their own e-books. The app provides parents and children with the opportunity to interact with one another, where the child is encouraged to use his creativity and craft a DIGITAL BOOK which can proudly be shared with family and friends. The app is developed by Danish primary school teacher Janus Madsen who has more than 15 years of experience in teaching young children to read and write. The app is based on the ideas of ‘learning to read by writing’ and ‘writing and discovering’ where the child uses its current level of written language abilities to create a text to a picture taken with the iPad or iPhone. The child tells an adult what he/she has written after which the adult can write the text in conventional writing. When the child compares its writing with the writing of the adult, spelling of often used words as well as significant nuances and elements of the written language is registered by the child and these experiences can be used on longer terms in the learning process. The app can also be used by younger children who can use the recording function to tell their stories, which subsequently can be put into writing by an adult.
