Evidence-based education technology from FinlandGraphoGame traces its origins to research conducted in Finland on the early identification and prevention of dyslexia. In 1993, researchers monitored two hundred children to find early-stage predictors of dyslexia. Based on the findings of what became an 18 year research project, GraphoGame was born.

The GraphoGame CompanyIn 2017, the GraphoGame company arose from the partnership between Finnish education technology company Learning Intelligence Group and University of Jyväskylä, the university behind the research project. As a research spin-off company, GraphoGame continues to develop and launch new evidence-based literacy games with its university collaborators around the world.
