Sprout Labs

Meet Sprout. 🌱

Sprout is the little robot at the heart of Sprout’s Reading World, your child’s reading buddy who grows right alongside them. Every lesson your child finishes helps their Sprout grow and unlocks new rewards, so the more they read, the more their Sprout becomes their own.

There are five worlds to explore, from the Dragon Lair to the Magic Tree. It’s a big part of why kids keep coming back on their own, no bribery, no battles. 

As one 3rd grader put it: “I do it every night!”

Calling all SLPs, reading specialists, and literacy practitioners!

If you work with kids who struggle to read, this one’s worth an hour of your time.

Phonemic awareness, the ability to hear and work with the individual sounds in words, is one of the clearest early signals of who will struggle with reading and spelling. It’s also widely misunderstood, starting with how often it gets confused with phonological awareness.

This Wednesday, August 5, our Head of Literacy Eileen Catizone, an Orton-Gillingham trained instructor, leads a free live session on what phonemic awareness really is, how it develops, and why it sits underneath so many reading and spelling struggles.

What you’ll leave with:
• The difference between phonological and phonemic awareness, and why it matters
• How phonemic awareness develops and shows up in reading and spelling struggles
• Activities you can start using the very next day

Genuinely useful content, not a product pitch, with live Q&A at the end. Come with a question!

Date: Wednesday, August 5
Time: 6:00 to 7:00 PM ET
Free live webinar + Q&A.
Professional Development Certificate on completion.

Sprout Labs is a team of reading experts. For years that’s meant reading assessments and one-on-one Orton-Gillingham tutoring for kids who learn differently. Now we’re excited to announce that same expertise is available every day, right in your home, at a fraction of the cost of tutoring.

The hardest part of helping a struggling reader was never the one good session a week. It was the six days in between. The plateau, the homework that takes twice as long, the confidence that slips a little more each time reading feels hard.

That’s Sprout’s Reading World: structured Orton-Gillingham reading instruction your child can do at home, about 10 to 20 minutes a day. The same explicit, sequential method a specialist would use, now without waiting for the next appointment.

Made for kids in 3rd and 4th grade (ages 8 to 10) with dyslexia, ADHD, and the learners who’ve always needed something built for the way they read.

Tutoring taught us what works.
Sprout’s Reading World makes it daily. 🌱

Free webinar for SLPs tomorrow: July 9th.

The history of reading instruction is a 60-minute session that changes how you think about your clients.

Eileen Catizone walks through how we transitioned from whole language to structured literacy, why some children struggle despite effort and intelligence, and the 5 pillars of reading instruction that actually move the needle.

Free. Live. Q&A at the end.

Early signs of reading challenges can show up in many ways, and the people closest to a child often notice first…

Parents see daily struggles and recognize familiar patterns.
Children sometimes say reading feels harder than it should.
SLPs spot language patterns that impact early literacy.
Teachers see how a child compares to peers in real time.

Each perspective matters. When any of these signs appear, early support can make all the difference.

Sprout Labs provides structured literacy tools and daily practice that help families act sooner and keep progress moving.

The International Dyslexia Association just released a new definition for the first time in 20 years.

Here’s what’s changed and why it matters:
✅ Recognizes genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors
✅ Highlights early oral-language weaknesses
✅ Moves away from IQ-based comparisons
✅ Includes impacts on writing, language, and well-being
✅ Reinforces that early intervention is essential

At Sprout Labs, we believe one thing: Reading Can’t Wait.
