About Us

Literarily strives to make word play and reading resources that engage and excite learners of all ages.聽 By creating apps and games as well as more traditional literacy materials, we work to encourage critical thinking, build foundational literary skills, and make the practice of reading and spelling not just a task for the classroom, but also a part of screen time at home.聽 We work to reach readers across the spectrum, whether struggling or in need of a challenge, by providing聽resources in multiple mediums.聽 Our puzzles, lessons, and games provide teachers and parents with ready resources so that no one has to reinvent the wheel. We hope to inspire students to play, and think, more literarily.
