How does Square Panda support neuroscience research findings?*
Multisensory perception supports optimal learning.
Square Panda combines letters with sounds in a tactile environment, turning tablets into phonics learning stations that leverage sight, sound, AND touch.
Struggling students benefit from multisensory cues.
Square Panda’s multisensory approach can advance low-performing students’ foundational skills while helping other learners progress through exploratory play.
High-poverty students benefit the most.
Square Panda supports children at school and at home—developing early reading skills with an eye to long-term challenges such as dropout prevention.
Second-language learners need additional reading support.
Square Panda serves as a foundational crosswalk between English and a students’ native language, as learners build their understanding of key phonics principles.
Early phonics instruction has the greatest impact.
To engage all PreK-3 students, Square Panda advances phonological awareness, rhyming, blending, segmentation, letter-sound associations, decoding, encoding, and more.
Square Panda partners with Dr. Bruce McCandliss, neuroscience researcher at Stanford University, and follows the guidelines of the National Reading and National Literacy Panels.
