Mission

Dedicated to using early literacy to change the life trajectory of individuals born into low income circumstances, Word Playground is a video based literacy scaffold that uses Montessori techniques to present principles of the science of reading to toddlers and preschoolers, who are significantly motivated in language, but have no consistent literacy prep.

Program accomplishments

  • Word Playground set up the foundations of literacy success by writing 20 songs, 4 books, 26 scripts, and curriculum for the initial phonics series. The first Letter Stories was filmed as a phase 1 trial before revisions and adjustments were made. 16 songs were recorded in the studio, which were sent for 2nd round revision. We built relationships with Manor, Pflugerville, and Austin ISKs and YMCA in hope of future partnerships and with donors to keep our mission alive.
