This is our 149-page Alphabet Sounds book, which recently became Amazon's top new Children's Reading book.
We've now sold over 700 copies, making a profit of $0 (we sell the book at cost and give a pdf version away for free on our website)
Super proud of the team for putting this together!

People think we created Mentava as an attempt to subvert public education, but it's really an attempt to save it.
As parents demand actual academics for their kids, schools will either need to provide it with rigorous software like Mentava, or families will go somewhere else

Meanwhile there are families like ours that are looking to use things like Mentava to accelerate reading before preschool. As the state dumbs down education, families that value education won't just go along with it, and long term it'll only lead to wider disparities. (2/4)
