Pierre Lagrange (successful economist, hedge fund manager, and financier) and Ebs Burnough (Former White House Deputy Social Secretary and Sr. Advisor to Michelle Obama) purchased Mrs Wordsmith several years ago with a goal of making learning fun at a young age by gamifying it!A staggering 54% of US adults have a literacy level below the 6^th grade and it’s a combination of teachers having crowded classrooms and parents being to busy after school to assist! Knowing this, Pierre and Ebs were dedicated to the growth of Mrs Wordmsith.
