Readable English simplifies and accelerates the process of learning to read.
65% of kids today are not reading proficiently. That’s because the English language is unfair!
Readable English addresses the real underlying problem of learning to read by adding a pronunciation guide to every word without changing the spelling!
Words are broken in syllables:
Letters that are not pronounced are grayed out:
‘Glyphs’ are added when a letter doesn’t make its usual sound:
Here’s how it works:
1
Teachers get trained and supported.
Our premade scripted lessons make it easy for teachers to deliver content joyfully and confidently both in the classroom or online.
2
Students get reading.
In just weeks, students learn the 21 Readable English glyphs and can start reading grade-level content with accuracy and confidence.
3
Schools turn around.
Through coaching and support, teachers and principals create a successful school wide literacy and data focused culture.
Most reading programs are forced to focus on strategies to deal with the multitude of rules and exceptions in English – which creates a heavy cognitive load.
By making English phonetic, Readable English reduces the cognitive load so students learn to read, fast.

Based on theory and data, I can recommend Readable English in the strongest possible terms. It has the power to transform the teaching of English.”
– Professor John Sweller,
Founder of Cognitive Load Theory
We keep fighting the literacy battle. Kids are coming to us further and further behind and we kept trying different interventions.
Then we tried Readable English for half a year and got 4,5,6 grade levels of growth on our formative assessments comparing beginning to the end, so no one can argue with that.”
– Tom Hughes, Middle School Principal
