Giving back

We build reading tools — then give them away.

We donate Reading Forge licenses to Ace Schools, a nonprofit that puts them free into the hands of Title 1 schools, tutors, and families who need them most. It's the whole reason we build.

About

A small studio with a clear standard.

Forge Learning Technologies is an independent software studio founded by an educator whose doctoral research explored STEM and literacy. We build the kind of tools we wished existed: genuinely useful, calm to use, and respectful of the people using them — no ads, no tracking, no selling data. Reading Forge is developed in partnership with Ace Schools, our nonprofit partner working to put literacy tools in front of every child who needs them.
