Ability to reading is the key to all areas of our life
Media literacy plays an important role in modern society
In order to learn to read quickly and efficiently, the Elli app contains four main levels of learning that help to master words, letters and their sounds as well as their graphic symbols: learning words, the alphabet, listening and understanding, writing.
 | Learning words In this module the child first plays with the whole word – the word is not divided into syllables. |
 | Alphabet At this stage, the child should learn the graphic symbol and the sound of the letter. |
 | Listening and understanding The module was developed on the basis of understanding the word by ear. |
 | Writing Here the child is supposed to recall the knowledge gained from memory. The child has to form the word from the learned letters. |
Who can benefit from the Elli App?
Elli can be used by all children, but it is especially adapted for kids with Down syndrome. The application has a parent module where family members can create a learning set alone or together with their child. Teachers have the option of creating a learning set for the whole group and working on this set together with the children, making the learning process even easier and seeing each child’s progress.

Elli-Team
The project originally started as Alex’s Master’s thesis. During that time, she worked closely with parents of children with Down syndrome, listening to their needs and challenges. Several experts were also consulted to ensure that the app not only has an appealing design but also the required expertise. Since then, we have won several competitions and built a dedicated team that works with great passion on the further development of the app.
Our vision for the Elli-App is ambitious, and our approach is similar to that of a startup. We are constantly striving to further develop the app and provide innovative solutions for our users. Together, we are committed to improving the learning process for children with Down syndrome and working enthusiastically towards realizing our vision.
