We loved reading this positive review from a curious parent in Madagascar who has a child learning to read in their mother tongue using our Feed The Monster App 🎉

Studies have shown that just 22 hours of playing our free Feed The Monster literacy app is equal to 2 months literacy learning in a well-resourced school! Access the app here: loom.ly/o0u5ahg

In the age of digital innovation, smartphones aren't just gadgets; they're gateways to a world of educational wonders for young learners 📱 🌟 More on this topic here: curiousreader.co.za

Field notes: Who better to test out new features on our apps than children themselves? In this photo from our archives, two young children from rural KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa play and test our literacy apps in English and isiZulu 🇿🇦 📱📚 #CuriousLearning #LiteracyApps

When it comes to literacy, small steps can become giant leaps. If you have a child at home learning to read, by getting them to play our Feed The Monster app for just 20 minutes a day, you'll be amazed at the giant leaps they take in their literacy progress.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence." - Albert Einstein #Curiosity #CuriousLearning #Learning

The work that organizations around the world have been doing in the literacy landscape for many decades has not been in vein. Statistics show that more than 86% of the world’s population know how to read and write compared to 68% in 1979! #Literacy #GlobalLiteracy #EducationFacts

Did you know that learning through play has a multitude of benefits for children (that includes imaginative play, digital app engagement and other forms of play). 🎨🖌️📝📚🎼🥳 LearningThroughPlay #PlayBasedLearning #TechEd #EdTech #CuriousLearning

Every page turned, every word spoken—it's more than just reading. Early literacy is the cornerstone of a child's academic journey. 🚀✨ It is for this reason that we are investing in improving global literacy rates through innovative learning apps and tech resources for kids.

As we embark on a new year, we resolve to contribute to global crisis response efforts actively. By distributing our apps to children in conflict zones, we aim to be a beacon of education in times of uncertainty. Join us in making education a priority all around the world.

In 2024, our resolution is clear—to leverage innovative technology and strategic approaches, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to unlock the world of reading. Together, let's redefine possibilities and open doors to education. 🌐📚

In the new year, our commitment remains steadfast—to continue placing free literacy apps into the hands of children who might otherwise miss the chance to learn to read. Together let's build a future where no child goes without the gift of literacy.

As we step into 2024, we're reflecting on the incredible journey of the past few years. Our impact has transcended borders, reaching all corners of the globe, and we are resolute to continue to do the same this year.

FACT: Basic literacy for 770 million illiterate adults would increase the annual global GDP by $1.2 trillion. Imagine a world where everyone is literate, contributing towards thriving societies and advancing the world forward. This is the world we are working towards creating.

FACT: There are roughly 500M children with disabilities globally; 80% are denied the right to learn to read. Literacy is more than just the ability to read and write, it's a basic form of human rights.

Thank you to All Children Reading for your kind words. @ReadingGCD
