About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

LiteracyPlanet’s mission is to inspire a lifetime of learning by providing children with the necessary spelling, grammar, punctuation, reading and writing skills to live their best life. Around the world, 715 million people remain illiterate. We have developed a free platform that makes access to literacy education for these people a greater reality.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

LiteracyPlanet’s comprehensive collection of curriculum-aligned activities, content and resources builds student confidence and engagement in their literacy learning. Educators have the tools to scaffold the development of literacy skills of every student, no matter their age or ability.

Cutting through other learning distractions, our winning formula includes fun activities, immediate feedback, rewards, recognition of achievement, competitions and transportation to another world of spellbinding stories and crazy characters. Immersing students in their education helps them take accountability for their learning and keeps them coming back.

How has it been spreading?

Literacy Check, a free proficiency check tool, is available to any educator worldwide. Using this feature, individual student skills in each literacy strand are assessed and a personalised learning path based on the results automatically begins. A new subscription model has been established to enable anyone worldwide to set up a LiteracyPlanet account for free. This free subscription provides access to Literacy Check, as well as the thousands of activities purposely-designed to improve literacy outcomes. The Intrepica Academy has also been established to develop educators’ learning pathways and professional development. We continue to scale the product and magnify its impact to provide more equitable and inclusive access to children worldwide.
