Early Literacy and Mathematics

In partnership with Escribo Innovation for Learning, we support early literacy and mathematics competence development by employing evidence-based digital games. 

Escribo is an EdTech startup that was founded by our lab alumni, Dr. Americo N. Amorim under supervision of Drs. Lieny Jeon and Yolanda Abel. Their mission is to support all early learners to meet their fullest academic and life potentials. Employing evidence-based digital games, the Escribo Play app fosters Prek-5 children’s literacy, math, and STEM skills. Escribo’s learning analytics and machine learning methods allow teachers, principals, and district leaders to track learning and make data-driven pedagogical decisions continuously. Today Escribo supports young students in Brazil, Panamá and the U.S. Escribo is now working with our lab to determine the efficacy of such games for children in the U.S.
