Assisting emergent readers in finding books to read

Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › Scientific › peer-review

Abstract

It is imperative to motivate children to read by offering them appealing books so that they can gradually establish a reading habit during their formative years. However, with the huge volume of existing and newly-published books, it is a challenge to find the right ones that match children's interests and readability levels. In response to the needs, we have developed K3Rec, an unsupervised recommender, which suggests books that match the interests/preferences and reading abilities of emergent (i.e., K-3) readers.
