Winner Dutch National Literacy Award

Our animated picture books and the digital literacy-games we designed to complement them, have won the prestigious Dutch National Literacy Award.

State Secretary of Education M. van Bijsterveldt handed out the award. The award was awarded by the The Reading & Writing Foundation which is chaired by Her Royal Highness Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands.

The jury praised the innovative and effective approach towards solving literacy problems in early education.

Digital Picture Books
get spectacular results in early education
Children learn twice as much new words when they watch our animated picture books compared to children that are being read to in the conventional way.

This is shown by an independent, multi-year studie by the University of Leiden*.

Especially children with language disadvantage benefit from the extra meaningfull context that our digital picture books give the child.

These scientific findings have dramatically increased the popularity of our digital picture books on digital whiteboards and school pc's.

Since then our animations have remained a populair fixture on national television and have been licensed to networks all over the world. One of the programs to include our animated picture books is the German version of Sesame Street.
