The goal of LESA is to boost the joy of reading and enhance reading skills for children in grades 1-4, while also gaining an overview of reading across the nation. Let's make reading a fun adventure!

The reading crisis is global!

The reading crisis is global: in the US, 37% of 4th graders fall below basic reading levels, while UK reading enjoyment hits historic lows. LESA turns this trend around by boosting skills, comprehension, and joy through adventure

A Fun and Gamified World

LESA uses gamification to spark children's interest and create a positive connection with reading. For instance, kids can climb levels, choose their favorite character from LESA to play, and get rewards by accessing the 'playground' after reading. Doesn't that sound fun?
