How Readable English Works

Unlock the code to reading in weeks - not years!

Methodology

Make English Phonetic

Readable English makes English phonetic by embedding a pronunciation guide into each word without changing the spelling, using glyphs (visual cues), graying out silent letters, and breaking words into syllables.

Instead of learning hundreds of rules and the multitude of exceptions of English, with pre-made lessons, students only need to learn 21 glyphs to begin reading - in a matter of weeks vs. years. As soon as students learn the glyphs they can convert any grade-level content into Readable English!

Gets to the Root Cause of Why Kids Can't Read

"Readable English is different. It is something that gets to the root cause of why these kids can't read rather than structured practice in different ways and different tiers. Readable English pulls pieces in that are technology enhanced; it pulls in the value of a real teacher talking to kids and building into kids. And then, it has independent practice. It is a multi-faceted approach and the way it teaches kids is different."

~ Tom Hughes, Principal, Maple Crest Middle School
