Transforming Literacy Through Innovation
The global literacy crisis is a pressing issue, with many children struggling to read at grade level. In the US, two-thirds of fourth graders are falling behind, and the situation is also worsening in England. Literacy is essential for academic achievement and future opportunities, making it a critical concern for families and educators alike.
Mrs Wordsmith is meeting the challenge with resources that combine the science of reading with engaging print and digital design. Working with childhood literacy experts, our team creates books and games that make learning to read enjoyable. This approach keeps children motivated and fosters an enthusiasm for developing literacy skills.
Mrs Wordsmith BOOKS, card games, and MOBILE GAMES are designed for children aged 3 to 13. Featuring hilarious illustrations by Craig Kellman, the character designer for DreamWorks’ Madagascar and Sony Pictures’ Hotel TransylvaniA, the products Boost comprehension and self expression.
Mrs Wordsmith’s methods have demonstrated results. A National Literacy Trust study found a 50% increase in learning for children aged 7-12 using the Narrative Journey program. Additionally, a summer 2022 study of Word Tag revealed a 43% improvement in vocabulary scores within a month, with students learning up to 1,000 new words annually.
Products, interfaces, and campaigns developed with the Mrs Wordsmith teams in London, copenhagen, Mexico, Boston, and Los Angeles.
