Access and advocacy for every learner
TaleTykes helps kids learn to read, write, and do math — and we want that within reach of every child, regardless of zip code, income, or how they learn. This is where we share what we stand for, the funding that can help families and schools, and the parts of TaleTykes that are genuinely free.
The science of reading, for every child
TaleTykes is built on structured literacy — explicit phonics, leveled books, and real oral-reading practice — and we back the push to make it standard everywhere.
