SPEAK

Language skills are essential for educational success and societal participation. The goal of the SPEAK project is the development, evaluation and distribution of digitally supported language support at the beginning of primary school. By systematically taking into account family and school conditions and by interlinking different learning venues – lessons, all-day educational activities, family – the aim is to enable support in the areas of vocabulary and grammar that can be integrated into the everyday lives of elementary school children.
