For an entire year, our support is just a voice memo or chat away whenever you need it, and we'll closely monitor your child's development.
Taylor’s Experience With the Foundations Kit
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 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.
⏰ As Little As 15 Minutes a Day
Spending just 15 screen-free minutes doing literacy activities each day can enhance your child's confidence and connection to learning, effortlessly fitting into even the busiest days without adding extra stress. We’ll design a personalized routine based on your schedule.
“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
“As the parent of a 6-year-old recently diagnosed with dyslexia affecting word retrieval and fluency, I found Literacy Playground to be exactly what we needed…In just 15 minutes a day, this program has not only improved my son's sight word recognition and fluency but has also helped turn reading and writing into a more enjoyable bonding experience. Highly recommended for any parent of a child with reading challenges.”
-Christine, Mom of a dyslexic 6 year old
“The frequent check-ins are incredibly reassuring, as we always feel supported in their development.”
-Renee, Mom of a 4 and 5 year old
“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.”
-Taylor, Mom of a 4 year old

FAQs
Is this an Orton-Gillingham program?
No, this program is not Orton-Gillingham certified. Certification for Orton-Gillingham is offered by private organizations, not a centralized governing body, and varies in rigor.
However, this program is a research-based, structured literacy curriculum aligned with the International Dyslexia Association’s standards. It uses systematic, evidence-based methods designed to help children build strong reading foundations, especially those with dyslexia or reading challenges.

We will keep in regular contact, making adjustments together as needed.
