The app that teaches children to read and write
— designed for every child, at school and at home.
Kattalo supports independence from the very first step. With voice instructions and just-right support that fades as confidence grows, every child can move forward — on their own, at their pace, and with joy.

Already trusted by over 40,000 children in 188 Swedish municipalities — and growing every month.
Reading Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Too many children fall behind — not because they can’t learn,
but because the tools weren’t built for beginners.
Fluent readers might decode hints and symbols with ease —
but early learners need something else entirely.
Our Vision
We believe in a school system — and a society — where every child gets the same chance to succeed.
Kattalo is our way of driving that change: making language learning accessible, joyful, and inclusive.
So more children can experience the confidence that comes from success.
Decoding
Children practice letters, sounds, and spelling in a safe, structured progression.
Language Comprehension
Vocabulary and concepts are built using spoken instructions and symbol support — available in their home language, too.
Reading Comprehension
Learners demonstrate understanding by reading texts and answering questions — a feature especially valuable for schools.
Everything Children Need to Learn to Read and Write
- All in One App
Kattalo is the only app that combines a clean, child-friendly interface with clear voice instructions and adaptive exercises that adjust automatically.
Each learner gets the support they need — in Swedish, English, or Norwegian — even without an adult nearby.

Kattalo in Numbers
Kattalo is already used by tens of thousands of children — from small rural schools to major cities across Sweden.
Supported by the Swedish National Agency for Special Needs Education
Kattalo has been awarded development funding from the Swedish National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools (SPSM).
Through these projects, we’ve expanded our team with leading experts and practitioners in the field — including
Dr. Emma Leifler (MD, PhD, lecturer at the University of Gothenburg),
Johanna Lindgren Chin (special needs educator),
Helen Larsson (teacher, adapted elementary education), and
Denice Sverla (lecturer and author in the field of adapted education).
Together, we’re working to make Kattalo even more accessible for students in adapted learning environments and for broader studies in language development.
We’ve seen a growing interest in writing among our students — and as teachers, we don’t need to be as hands-on as we do with handwriting.
Teacher, Sweden
With Kattalo, it’s no longer a puzzle — you can use the same learning tool for every student, while still differentiating in so many ways.

Just a few weeks after we installed Kattalo, our three-year-old started writing full words on her drawings.
