Yoleo – it’s fun to read!


Yoleo

Yoleo is a project for a Dutch foundation (Stichting Dedicon) that makes reading accessible to everyone (whether they are just learning to read, are visually impaired or dyslexic: it’s reading what one wants in the form that suits one’s needs).


Yoleo is a project that started in 2012 and entails reading digital books and listening at the same time, for children aged 8-12 years who encounter difficulties when reading.


Audio and a karaoke bar help focussing on the text that is being read. Points are earned by reading and can be used in a game afterwards.
