About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

GraphoGame was developed to combat illiteracy effecting over 1 billion people. Through evidence-based methods and trials, it offers an effective solution for learning literacy skills independently, empowering individuals globally. It’s efficacy, shown in randomised controlled trials, rivals 1-to-1 teacher support. It's a proven method for literacy, achievable in weeks without adult support.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

GraphoGame is a proven, affordable Android, iOS, and Windows literacy app. It teaches foundational reading and spelling skills: phonemic awareness, letter-sound correspondence, and blending.
