National Literacy Trust and Penguin Random House Researching Link Between Games And Literacy

Games Industry Biz: 10.17.2019 by James Batchelor

A new study will explore the relationship between video games and literacy engagement among school children, thanks to a partnership between the two worlds.

Games trade body UKIE has teamed up with major book publisher Penguin Random House Children's and the National Literacy Trust, a charity dedicated to boosting these skills, for this research.

Core to the project will be a survey of secondary school children across the UK. The questions will be composed by the National Literacy Trust, drawing on advice from both games and book publishing industry figures.

The venture originates from the Trust's observation that a significant part of children's reading habits when interacting through screens centres around video games, whether it's text in the titles themselves or content around the hobby such as forum discussions.

The survey will be carried out over the next few months, and will looking into how kids' experience with video games relates to their reading and writing abilities. The results are expected to be presented in Spring 2020.  READ MORE >>
