Mentava is an innovative company revolutionizing literacy through its software designed to teach young children how to read. By using a phonics-based, science-backed approach, Mentava's software can guide preschoolers from zero literacy to a second-grade reading level in just a few months. Unlike other educational apps that serve mostly as digital babysitters, Mentava provides an active learning experience with adaptive, individualized instruction. With a focus on early reading and a curriculum influenced by educational experts like Engelmann and Orton-Gillingham, Mentava offers a cost-effective alternative to private tutoring and schooling. Parents can try the software with a free 7-day trial, and the company also offers a supplementary Alphabet Sounds book for children who are not yet ready for the software.
