The problem
A global challenge
Reading difficulties are not limited to one country. International evidence points to a widespread foundational learning crisis: millions of children move through primary education without consolidating the reading skills they need to keep learning.
In many schools, identifying these gaps still requires listening to every student, timing each reading, recording errors and compiling results manually. When evidence arrives late or fragmented, there is also less time available to provide support.
Global evidence: World Bank and partnersThe solution
From reading to evidence
Kiddo Fluency turns a one-minute oral reading into clear information to identify gaps, understand results and support progress.
