We are building an early childhood literacy app focused on explicitly and systematically teaching the skills of reading (e.g., phonological awareness, decoding, and sight recognition.) The mission is to democratize access to evidence-based instruction and raise the percentage of proficient US 4th grade readers from 33% [1] to an estimated 94% [2][3].

If anyone is interested in collaborating, please reach out. I am especially looking for experts in sales and marketing.

Would love to follow the app's development, and/or beta test :)
