Why Readable English Works
-
Visual Scaffolding: Readable English marks each word with visual diacritics for pronunciation and decoding, removing the guesswork from the irregular spelling of English. This makes reading accessible for diverse learners, even those who’ve struggled for years.
-
Rapid Results: Students demonstrate Lexile gains 2-3 times greater than traditional programs in weeks and months, not years.
-
Boosted Confidence: By providing immediate access to grade-level text, students quickly rediscover their capacity and love for learning.
-
Research-Driven: Rooted in the science of reading, backed by peer-reviewed studies, and inspired by global languages that achieve high literacy via orthographic support.

How does the app Work?
The new Readable English app is delivered in two core stages designed to make reading accessible, engaging, and effective for all learners.

Breaking the Code offers a fast-paced, space-themed adventure in which students master the 21 glyphs in as little as 2.5 hours. Students develop core skills such as phonics and phonemic awareness while embarking on a mission to collect glyphs and defeat the nebula.
Structured Reading Practice provides a comprehensive, scaffolded approach to reading practice that guides students from individual words to full comprehension. Each lesson features engaging activities like Vocab Vault and Space Race that build decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension around a core passage.
By addressing the complexity of English orthography and providing structured, scaffolded reading practice, the app transforms reading into an exciting journey toward independence - and develops confident, fluent readers equipped to understand and enjoy complex texts.
A Sneak Peak at our Reading Activities

Falling Words
In this interactive voice-recognition game, students read aloud words that fall from the top of the screen. When read correctly, the words explode for points; if missed, they fall into lava - providing immediate feedback on accuracy.
This engaging activity gives students early exposure to key vocabulary from the passage, helping build decoding confidence and smoother, more fluent reading later on.

Vocab Vault
Students read aloud single sentences that feature key vocabulary words from the passage. As they read, each word fades out in real time, providing immediate feedback on accuracy.
This activity supports vocabulary development by helping students connect new words to their meanings in context.

Space Race
In this fast-paced voice-recognition game, students read a full passage aloud, including the vocabulary introduced in Falling Words and Vocab Vault. To stay ahead of the approaching spaceship, they must accurately “clear” each word through accurate oral reading.
This game boosts reading fluency by encouraging speed and accuracy, building on earlier decoding and vocabulary practice.

Comp Quest
After reading the passage, students answer a series of comprehension questions that target both key details and higher-order thinking skills.
This activity strengthens comprehension by encouraging students to think critically, make inferences, and engage deeply with the text.

Code Word (Review)
Each lesson begins with a review activity that reinforces the Readable English system. Students refresh their glyph knowledge to efficiently apply the markup and build strong, accurate reading habits.
By reinforcing previous learning, this activity boosts retention, builds confidence, and sets the stage for successful reading practice.

What our Users Have to Say
"The conversion with the glyphs and syllable marks helps me. The words make more sense when I can pronounce them. I would recommend that others use the conversion tool for reading things that are hard."
AMELIA BURGESS
4TH GRADE
"The thing I like the most about Readable English is the glyphs and how they help me sound out words. When I am reading at home with the glyphs, my parents are so proud of me that I can read to them too."
