January 6, 2025, Needham, MA — Sprout Labs, a leader in early literacy solutions for families, is proud to announce an expanded suite of tools designed to transform the way children learn to read at home. Rooted in research and playful, game-based learning, the program empowers parents to boost their child’s reading confidence and build foundational literacy skills through engaging, interactive activities and expert guidance
Originally developed as part of EarlyBird Education, validated by research at Boston Children’s Hospital, Sprout Labs now brings the joy of learning directly into homes. Designed for children ages 4–9, the program offers families an innovative way to foster reading growth, motivating children to learn through play while providing parents with clear, actionable insights to guide their journey.
“Our mission is to make reading fun and accessible for every child,” said Carla Small, Founder and CEO of Sprout Labs. “As the mom of a child who struggled with reading, I saw first hand how the right instruction transformed his life. Now we’re bringing this science-backed approach to all families, partnering with you to help your child grow into a confident, enthusiastic reader.”
Turning Reading Challenges into Opportunities for Growth
Research shows that positive, early reading experiences set the foundation for lifelong learning success. Sprout Labs takes this to heart by offering an engaging program that helps families identify where their child might need extra support, all while keeping the experience fun and rewarding.
The program is rooted in the Orton-Gillingham Method and focuses on building the key components of reading: oral comprehension, phonological awareness, and phonics. The game’s adaptive design tailors activities to each child’s unique pace and progress, rewarding young learners for reaching key reading milestones. With just 20 minutes of play daily, children learn the skills needed to become a strong reader.
With expert one-on-one guidance and progress tracking, parents support their child’s learning journey without the need for expensive tutoring or confusing techniques.
“Sprout Labs transforms reading from a challenge into a joyful discovery,” added Small. “We’re here to help families build the foundation for successful, lifelong readers.”
