Litnerd

Litnerd is an engaging reading and writing club application designed for children, experiencing a remarkable 14-fold growth in user engagement over the past academic year. Envisioned as a contemporary iteration of Scholastic, Litnerd emphasizes original intellectual property (IP). The platform develops unique IP in collaboration with its community and partner brands, transforming these concepts into books, media, and educational curricula. An AI-powered personalized tutor is integrated to provide children with an engaging and tailored learning experience, fostering reading and writing proficiency. Litnerd incorporates social and gamified elements, featuring live weekly community meetups and monthly e-tournaments to enhance user participation. Demonstrably effective, Litnerd has quadrupled the pass rate of students on their annual state Reading (ELA) exams. The platform's stickiness is evident in the average 10-20 minutes children spend on the app outside of classroom hours. Litnerd empowers children to become authors, leveraging AI to illustrate and publish their literary creations, grounded in the Science of Reading. All books, media, and courseware represent original content created and published by Litnerd.
