Most edtech is designed to replace the teacher. Lemon Tree Library is designed to be used by one. Every game is facilitated by a real adult who knows the students in front of them.

Science of Reading

Structured literacy is the most evidence-backed approach to reading instruction we have. That's what makes the play possible.

Teacher-Designed

Built over six years of real online literacy instruction. Flexible enough for 1:1, small group, or whole class, and tailored to fit how you teach.

Play-Based Learning

Children learn best through play. Our games make repetitive phonics practice feel like an adventure.
