For children who find reading difficult
Children (aged 6-12) who experience reading difficulties are invited to help us create a robot reading buddy. These sessions will include an interview that will involve drawing us a robot and being asked questions. They will also get to meet 3 of our very own robots! You child will be asked to complete short reading assessments and the interview will be audio recorded. You will also be asked to complete a questionnaire about your child’s behaviour and wellbeing. The sessions will take about 90 minutes and your child will be given $30 for their time. For more information, please contact Hannah
