Our mission
Lotty Learns started in 2016 with a mission of teaching basic reading fundamentals to all children in an entertaining way. Our goal is to foster an early love of reading by teaching simple reading techniques that will help prepare those little ones for kindergarten. This readiness will bring confidence and positivity as they head into kindergarten and build upon those reading principles. We focus on letter recognition, letter sounds, vowels, phonics, and even simple letter blending. We believe that competency in these areas will empower kids and put them on a positive and successful path of learning. We know that reading is the cornerstone of all education.
Make literacy a priority
-
Two out of every 10 children enter kindergarten with skills two to three years lower than their grade level, and another two start school with a one-year disadvantage, according to the Children’s Reading Foundation.
-
Some 34% of students are below basic reading level in the fourth grade, according to the U.S. National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Another 31% are below the proficient reading level.
-
Childhood literacy efforts are essential in reducing the rates of adult illiteracy. Some 36 million adults in the U.S. do not have basic reading or writing skills above a third-grade level, according to ProLiteracy.
We believe we can make a difference.
Since the beginning of our company, we have focused on creating fun and entertaining learning content. Since our launch, the channel has steadily grown to 250 thousand subscribers with over 50 million views. The majority of our videos center around Lotty as she teaches different reading concepts. She brings positivity and friendliness as guides children through different reading lessons. It has been such a rewarding experience to receive letters from families around the world thanking us for these free videos. This is the cornerstone of our brand mission and we will continue to bring this valuable content to our children.
Phonics tools that work.
While we continue to produce safe and educational videos for children, we are also beginning to branch out and offer other ways for kids to practice the reading principles that they learn in our videos. With this goal in mind, our website is undergoing a transformation to offer more educational tools to take our preschooler’s reading to another level. Our new website will offer a membership with revolutionary phonics tools, interactive stories and even games to keep little ones engaged.
