Emergent Literacy Assessment app for Griffith University

The Emergent Literacy Assessment (ELA) app is a free educational tool designed to support early childhood development in literacy and numeracy. It offers interactive assessments combined with playful animations, helping young children build foundational skills such as letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and number identification in a fun and engaging way. The app provides immediate feedback and enables results to be shared with educators, making it a valuable resource for both home and classroom use.

ELA has been widely adopted in Australia and internationally, with strong uptake in the US, UK, Canada, and New Zealand. It has been praised by educators and parents for its intuitive design and measurable educational impact, often helping children achieve noticeable improvements in literacy skills within a short period of time. Grounded in educational research and early learning best practices, the app effectively combines digital engagement with meaningful skill-building.
