: All procedures performed in this study involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the Institutional Review Board, National Taiwan University, Taiwan, and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The research project received ethical approval from this board (IRB approval ID: 202311ES005), granted on January 10, 2024.

: Informed consent was obtained from the parents or legal guardians of all child participants included in the study. Assent was also obtained from all child participants. Prior to the commencement of any research activities (specifically, during the period of February 19, 2024 to February 29, 2024, before Week 1 of the 8-week intervention which commenced in early March 2024), parents or legal guardians were provided with a detailed information sheet. This sheet explained the study’s purpose (part of a project funded by a national funding body), the nature of their child’s participation in using the “MyReadscape” system, the types of data to be collected (system logs, questionnaire responses, interview data), procedures for ensuring confidentiality and anonymity, potential benefits, and their right to withdraw their child from the study at any time without penalty. Written informed consent was subsequently obtained from parents or legal guardians. Child participants (Grades 2-3) were provided with an age-appropriate verbal explanation of the study, what their participation would involve, and their right to stop participating if they wished. Their verbal assent was secured during the same period, February 19, 2024 to February 29, 2024. All participant data were anonymized throughout the research process to protect confidentiality.
