Chesapeake, VA: AACE.1-880094-73-8https://hdl.handle.net/10289/5952This paper endeavors to consolidate current knowledge and empirical research concerning the use of typography for children’s on-screen reading. This paper is not intended as a full literature review, but attempts to raise awareness of the areas required for future investigation. This evaluation indicates a significant gap in the literature of children’s on-screen reading and proposes a need for further investigations in typographical spacing. These future studies need to objectively consider children’s eye movements and the effect of screen based text presentation on children’s comprehension.application/pdfenThis is an author’s accepted version.computer sciencechildrenon-screen readingConference Contribution
