Literacy Planet
Tom is on a mission to transform the way people learn. He is humbled to lead the LiteracyPlanet team, inspiring a lifetime of learning. Tom is a proud dad of three kids and loves nature, the outdoors, adventure and travel.
LiteracyPlanet is a research and evidence-aligned literacy program combining the science of reading, great storytelling and the psychology of gameplay to create a learning experience that educators and students love.
The driving force behind LiteracyPlanet is motivating students to discover the joy of learning through the power of great storytelling and gamified learning experiences.
Immersive storytelling
Just as the world’s most popular films and games are driven by compelling narratives, LiteracyPlanet’s Storyverse immerses readers in a captivating world of fun, fantasy and wonder. This is where learning becomes meaningful and memorable, inspiring children to connect with their writing in imaginative and creative ways.
Gamification for learning
LiteracyPlanet uses the psychology of gameplay to encourage, motivate and reward children as they move from one curriculum outcome to the next. It is an enabler, building confidence and determination within a safe and nurturing environment.
