Our Story

Kibeam is the brainchild of entrepreneur Jim Marggraff, inventor of the LeapFrog LeapPad, an extraordinarily popular and effective learning tool for children aged 3 to 7. Building on that success, a team of creators, writers, engineers, designers, teachers and education experts from LeapFrog and beyond have come together to author the next chapter in edtech for home and school, the Kibeam Wand Reading System.

At Kibeam, we aspire to be the leading force in improving literacy by transforming how children learn to read at their pace and preference. By uniting the best of traditional and digital learning, we make a child’s reading journey more accessible, playful, and effective for every family.
