Congratulations on launching! I love the combination of an app coupled with physical books. It really demonstrates your understanding of your customers.
* I would love to know more about your phonics instruction. From what I can see, Ello embeds the instruction into the "help the child sound out the words" component. Is that correct or is more systematic instruction provided?
* How do you help children overcome the seemingly maddening inconsistency of the English language? For example, the long a sound can correspond to the a, ai, eigh, aigh, ay, er (RP), et, ei, au, a_e, ea, and ey graphemes.
* Does your speech recognition system understand at the phoneme level?
BTW, I would love to connect. I am an independent educational researcher and early literacy edtech founder. My background is big tech (principal engineer at a FAANG company) and am now navigating the treacherous waters of building an audience, securing funding, bringing in experts, etc.
Is there a whitepaper that documents how PrepScholar "automatically learns the strengths and weaknesses of each student and creates an individualized learning program through machine learning"? For example, ALEKS [0] is based on the Knowledge Space Theory [1].
