We recently hosted some co-design sessions with Advanced Education Research & Development Fund w/ tweens who don't love reading. We learned about barriers to reading and design features they would like to see (and avoid) in literacy apps for reluctant readers. bit.ly/3wPiah8 #literacy #cooneycentersandbox
