Launched in December 2019 by the ABCD Institute, EduEdu is an Android device app available for free to parents, guardians, and teachers of children with reading difficulties. Initially featuring personalized and printable activity sheets on phonological awareness, alphabetic writing system and reading, EduEdu updated its strategy only three months after its launch: with the arrival of Covid-19 and the challenges of online teaching of reading, especially for students with learning difficulties and disorders. In response, it incorporated digital activities and a Socioemotional Space, developed in partnership with the Ame Sua Mente Institute (also supported by the ABCD Charitable Trust). In just two months, more than 900,000 digital lessons were utilized by children from all over Brazil, at the direction of teachers and, mainly, parents and guardians. In 2021, a year marked by hybrid education, EduEdu continued to expand its digital activities and, in partnership with Cisco, launched the Dyslexia Space, which offers a rapid test to identify signs of dyslexia. The project was developed collaboratively with the company and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). Since its release, EduEdu has had more than 2 million downloads, and is recommended by nine out of 10 users, and has a 4.7 rating (out of 5) on the Google Play Store.
