Litnerd is a kids reading + writing club app that grew by 14x this past school year. Think of us as a modern-day Scholastic, with a heavy IP play. We create original IP with our community + partner brands -> turn them into books, media and learning curriculum, layered with an AI personalized tutor to help kids learn to read and write in a personalized and engaging way.
Our product format is a Social and Gamified - with a live weekly community meetup and monthly e-tournaments.
There are 37M elementary school students across America and 42% of 4th grade students are reading at a 1st or 2nd grade proficiency level. The #1 reason students aren’t reading? They say it’s boring. We change that by bringing books to life. Think of your favorite book turned into a tv-show style episode-by-episode reenactment, coupled with a complete curriculum and lesson plans. Our team consists of writers, illustrators, educators, teachers, engineers, directors, cinematographers, music producers, choreographers, animators and actors.
Litnerd is a contracted vendor with New York City Department of Education. Over 14,000 K-5 students have streamed Litnerd in their classroom. 79% of students said Litnerd is their favorite way to learn! As one of our students said: “I loved this program. It helped me see the magic in books.”
