Learning to read in a language with a transparent orthography is generally quick and easy. To
be able to read any words, learners need to know how to connect the smallest spoken
language units, phonemes, into the written counterparts, graphemes. However, even learning
the basic alphabetic principle has proven difficult for some learners. Here we focus on
children who struggle to learn to read in Finnish that has a highly transparent orthography. In
an attempt to provide efficient early preventative support for such learners, a technologyenhanced
learning environment, GraphoGame, was developed. The GraphoGame method
focuses on the specific problematic areas of each individual learner using a phonics type
drilling, starting from training the letter-sound connections before introducing larger units.
Here we provide an overview of the GraphoGame method together with research findings.
