Abstract

Modeled Sustained Silent Reading (MSSR) is one of significant approaches for pupils to developing early literacy. This study proposes a game-based follow-up activity to support the MSSR activity: My-Bookstore. My-Bookstore includes two phases, reading recording and book recommendation. Students note down their reading status and recommend the books without any compulsion. The aim of this study is to promote student’s reading interest by opinions sharing and discussion through a game-based social interaction environment.
