We teach children to read.

Our methods are grounded in the science of reading and cognitive development, delivered in a format that meets children where they are — at home — through accessible, engaging content on YouTube and through text.

Our Mission

Dedicated to changing the life trajectory of children in underserved communities, Word Playground 501(c)(3) combines the science of what we teach, how we teach, and why families will care. Whether used by a parent, a daycare provider, or a teacher, each lesson is part of a systematic framework designed to bring early literacy within reach for both children and the adults who support them, all on the tool already used most--the screen. We give children opportunity--one story, one song, one laugh at a time.

Did You Know?

34%

of children enter kindergarten without the foundational skills to learn to read.

That's why we started Word Playground.
