Company mission
Their mission is to make learning to read, and reading to learn, fun and effective for every child.
Our take
Families with young children typically spend 5 times more on gaming content than education products.
Educational content has seen little innovation in recent years, limited to new characters, new designs and new stories.
Mrs Wordsmith is using best practice methods in teaching (e.g. scaffolding, combining easy words with challenging ones) and data science (e.g. choosing words/phrases that are worth learning).
This expertise is giving parents confidence that Mrs Wordsmith books are the best to buy if they want their children to have a varied vocabulary.
