Foundations Launch Box
Your child's launch box includes 8-12 decodable phonics books and a social-emotional learning book. They'll also receive practical, fun tools like word dice, playdough, and sidewalk chalk.

Foundations Activities
Engaging and screen-free, our 15-minute activities are tailored to your child’s abilities, learning style, and interests. They will love reading with you with specially selected books and playing interactive games to master word sounds—how to break them apart and make them stick in their memory. They'll practice putting it all together by writing their own words and sentences!

“I’m really impressed by Literacy Playground!
My daughter will be 4 soon and began expressing interest in letters. We started with basic sheets for her to trace her letters and little games here and there. Literacy Playground upped our game by providing a structure well suited for her age in terms of time yet highly engaging and exciting through various creative activities. Within the first few weeks, my daughter began recognizing letters and their sounds. When things are taught to kids in ways that speak to them personally, it is no longer a daunting part of the day but something they look forward to. This is what Literacy Playground is all about for us!

A Personalized Program
🧐 Research Based and Developmentally Appropriate
Our Foundations kit is designed for every pre-reader, age 4 and up! This includes eager young learners, kids who may be a little reluctant to pick up a book, and especially those who require extra understanding and support for learning differences such as ADHD or dyslexia.
🫶🏻 Literacy and Social-Emotional Learning
For young children, feeling safe and connected serves as the foundation for learning. Our activities are crafted to spark their natural curiosity, enabling you and your child to become partners in the learning journey.
⏰ Just 15 Minutes a Day
Spending just 15 screen-free minutes each day can enhance your child's confidence and connection to learning, effortlessly fitting into even the busiest days without adding extra stress.
“My 4 year old has progressed so much in his ability to blend sounds and read short sentences. Literacy Playground takes a lot of the guess work and anxiety out of teaching reading, which felt very daunting to me initially.”
- Veena, Mom of a 4 year old
“The frequent check-ins are incredibly reassuring, as we always feel supported in their development.”
