Fun and Gamified World
Fun and Gamified World
LESA uses gamification to spark children's interest and create a positive connection with reading. For instance, kids can climb levels, choose their favorite character from LESA to play, and get rewards by accessing the 'playground' after reading. Doesn't that sound fun?
