BookWork is currently in its study phase, actively recruiting for our study, and rewarding readers for their participation.
Below we outline the simple steps around how this works, and then provide further information for parents/guardians.
We operate in full transparency at BookWork, so we want parents/guardians to be informed about what BookWork is currently doing.
In this current study phase, we want to work out how our approach can scale to reach more readers. To do this, we are actively recruiting for this study. Parental/Guardian permission is required for the teen and young listener to participate in this study. When a teen registers interest, the parent/guardian will be contacted to gain all necessary permissions for participation prior to starting. This will also allow the parent/gaurdian to ask any questions they might have.
The audio recordings made by the teen will be analyzed by BookWork to make sure the reading has been completed with the younger listener. This will initially be done manually by our team and we may use technology to assist us. Once the recordings have been verified, the teen is rewarded for their participation. We may occasionally ask for optional feedback from parents and teens on their experience through surveys.
As a parent/guardian you can also initiate the sign up process for your teen/young listener when you are ready.
