About Us

Our Story

 

Readable English was founded to revolutionize the way students learn to read. By simplifying English into a phonetic system, we empower learners of all backgrounds to achieve literacy faster and more effectively.

Since our inception, we’ve impacted thousands of students across the globe, helping them unlock their potential through the power of reading. 

Our Mission 

 

By simplifying and accelerating the process of learning to read, our mission is to get all students reading proficiently at grade level.

We work with schools and districts to close the literacy gap of disengaged learners left behind by traditional content-based phonics and reading programs.
