LearnThatWord builds literacy, one word at a time.
Our mission is to help learners of all skill levels develop the
skills they need to pursue their goals with confidence.
LearnThat Foundation aka eSpindle Learning started from parents' initiative and a vision of a 100% personalized solution. The “founding mothers” had gone through endless hours tutoring their children to help them expand their vocabulary and spelling skills.
With vocabulary being a core component of a successful education we wondered:
Wasn’t there a better way for this repetitive task?
Looking at existing programs we found that nothing was attentive or resourceful enough to fit the bill. We were looking for a comprehensive, resource-rich tool that managed the learning process, self-adjusting to the goals, the individual ability and skill level of each learner.
Since we couldn't find such a tool, we set out to create it.
Our Board consists of a diverse alliance of individuals who care about education.
