Sanajuna is a game for children who need extra support in their reading development. The game is part of a research project at the University of Jyväskylä. The game teaches children to recognize that words consist of smaller units, such as syllables and sounds. The game follows the journey of Luka, a boy traveling to his grandma's house by train, along with his dog Pepi. It consists of three main tasks that are adapted to the child's level. The game provides immediate visual feedback and uses gamification to make learning enjoyable.
