Rhyme Recognition
Detecting words that share an ending sound — the gateway to phonological awareness.
Perceptuity
Helping young children build the foundational skills for reading through adaptive, game-based learning grounded in early childhood development.
Building Reading Readiness
Children develop the phonological awareness and visual-perceptual skills that support reading at very different rates. Some are ready at age 4, while others benefit from additional support before formal reading instruction begins.
Parents and educators often do not recognize these differences until challenges begin to emerge in school.
Perceptuity aims to help by providing structured, developmentally informed assessments of the foundational skills associated with reading readiness, paired with personalized, game-based activities designed to strengthen those skills through engaging online practice.
Our approach is being developed in collaboration with clinical and educational perspectives to better support families during early childhood learning.
Six Foundational Skills
Each skill is measured through gamified activities. Results are reported at the end. Then a personalized remediation plan is created.
Phonological awareness
Syllable Awareness
Perceiving how spoken words break into rhythmic chunks.
Initial Sound Matching
Identifying the first sound of a word — the foundation of phonics.
Visual perceptual awareness
Visual Discrimination
Spotting fine visual differences between similar shapes and letters.
Visual Memory
Holding visual information in mind, including the order of items in a sequence.
Spatial Relations
Understanding how objects relate to each other in space.

Built on Research
Perceptuity's assessment framework draws on validated tools used by occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and educational psychologists worldwide — including the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS-4) and the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening for Preschool (PALS-PreK). Every assessment item is designed to measure a specific skill cleanly, without confounds like color blindness or motor demands.
