The focus is on the design of a "reading robot" adapted to interact with students' different reading abilities in grade 4. Central questions of the project are: how do students and teachers perceive interactions around reading with a social robot? as well as what effects the interaction with a social robot can generate in relation to pupils' desire/motivation to read?
