Reading Intervention that is easy to teach, engaging for students, and delivers results 

At Readable English, we are committed to evidence-based literacy instruction grounded in the Science of Reading.
 
Our approach emphasizes the five essential components identified by extensive research (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension), and is taught through systematic and explicit instruction. Further, the transparent orthography of the markup facilitates efficient orthographic mapping, empowering all students to achieve reading success. 

Scarborough’s Reading Rope is a powerful framework that explains the complexity of skilled reading. The model visually represents reading as a woven structure of intertwined skills with two main components: Word Recognition and Language Comprehension. 

Readable English primarily supports the Word Recognition component of the rope. The transparent orthography of the markup helps students develop automaticity in decoding, freeing up the necessary cognitive resources for comprehension and vocabulary development.

To date, there are three independent, peer-reviewed studies on the effectiveness of Readable English in improving fluency and comprehension compared to control groups. 

On average, students learning Readable English improved at twice the rate of students in control groups, for both reading fluency and comprehension. Typically these results can be seen as early as the “Breaking the Code” phase where students develop phonemic awareness, phonics and orthographic mapping.
