About

LALA AND THE LETTERS is an innovative educational tool designed to help young children master reading through a blend of digital and non-digital resources. Developed based on evidence-based research, this project addresses the challenges of early literacy by integrating a user-friendly app with printable worksheets and interactive toolkit activities. The app and accompanying resources aim to engage children in a fun and effective way, incorporating feedback from children, families, and teachers. Focused on enhancing literacy for all children, including those facing barriers such as language and poverty, LALA AND THE LETTERS strives to provide equitable educational opportunities and support underprivileged children in their journey to becoming proficient readers.
