Foundational, Formative, and Fun INteractive CHild Assessment

Finch game-based assessment tools work together with GOLD to provide a more comprehensive picture of each child’s developmental progress, while shifting the time burden off of teachers and reducing the pressure on their observations alone.

The Finch literacy screener provides an early signal for children who are at risk for reading difficulties and dyslexia.

Finch formative games are adaptive and dynamic to directly capture developmental progress.
