About Us > Mission and Team

We're serious about
getting kids reading.

Over 10 years ago, Ann Fitts, a Reading Specialist, and entrupreneur, was frustrated by the sheer amount of time and memorization required by students to learn to read. She and her partner Chris Stephen thought there must be a better way, and Ann began examining every aspect of the reading process and the English language.

Inspired to change the paradigm by addressing the underlying problem common to all readers — the overwhelming inconsistencies and complexities of the English language — they created Readable English and got kids reading, fast.

Who We Are

Our mission is to get all students reading proficiently, by simplifying and accelerating the process of learning to read.
