Author of the renowned course Fundamentals of Spelling and co-developer of the AI-powered learning program Grafari, Dr. Katharina Leemann has worked for decades with children, adolescents, and adults facing significant spelling challenges. Her course Fundamentals of Spelling — introduced 25 years ago — was a milestone in literacy education and is still widely used today. She has taught across German-speaking Switzerland and lectured at the Zurich University of Special Education. Although now retired, she continues to be active as an expert and author, contributing her expertise to the development of Grafari.

As educators increasingly prioritize student wellbeing alongside academic achievement, Constructor Tech's innovations position schools to create learning environments that foster emotional resilience and holistic development in a world transformed by AI and scientific advancement.

At Constructor Technology, we believe every child can learn math—they just need the right support. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Calcularis, our personalized math learning app, has received the Mom’s Choice Award® a trusted U.S.-based seal of excellence in family-friendly education.

Mathematics can feel like an unsolvable puzzle for students. Research estimates that 3–6% of the population struggles with dyscalculia, making math anxiety a common challenge. Since traditional teaching methods rely on memorization, students with dyscalculia need alternative strategies—this is where multisensory learning comes in.

Math often feels overwhelming for young learners, especially when concepts remain abstract. Visualization tools, such as number lines, graphs, and manipulatives, serve as bridges between theoretical mathematical ideas and practical understanding. A teaching children mathematics study reported that students using number lines improved subtraction accuracy by 25%. Similarly, graphs make math relatable by illustrating trends and relationships.

Research consistently shows that difficulties in literacy and numeracy often go hand in hand, sharing underlying cognitive processes such as working memory, reasoning, and comprehension. A study in the Journal of Learning Disabilities found that 60-70% of children with dyslexia also struggle with math tasks that require logical reasoning or problem-solving.

Constructor Tech recently participated in EDUtech Asia 2024, Asia’s premier conference for educators and EdTech innovators, held on November 6-7 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore. This annual gathering has become a pivotal platform for companies that push the boundaries of technology to make education more accessible, effective, and future-ready. Constructor Tech was thrilled to be part of this movement, showcasing how our all-in-one platform leverages AI and machine learning to meet the needs of K-12, higher education, research, and corporate learning.

This year, we are proud to announce that Calcularis has been recognized with the 2024 Family Choice Award, further solidifying its reputation as a leading math learning app. But what makes Calcularis worthy of this prestigious recognition, and why do families and educators worldwide trust it for their children’s math education?

Annual event aimed at raising awareness about dyslexia and advocating for better support for individuals who have this learning difference. While it’s become a global movement, many people don’t know much about the history of dyslexia awareness and how far we’ve come in supporting learners with this condition. Let’s take a look at the journey and how innovative tools like Grafari are helping to empower children with dyslexia today.

This prestigious recognition is a testament to the innovation and dedication we’ve poured into creating a unique math learning experience—one that connects deeply with children, parents, and educators.
