The company aims to make learning to read and write fun, engaging, and effective by combining research-backed pedagogy with Hollywood-quality visuals and game-based learning.

How does Mrs Wordsmith use teachers and science in product development?

Everything at Mrs Wordsmith is grounded in the Science of Reading, a body of research that explains how children learn to read and the most effective ways to teach them.
