The voice of our proud parents

The glyphs and the different games/strategies are very deliberate and effective. Naomi gets very excited to see her word score go up weekly.  The portal user experience is intuitive and a great fit for our family.  

We are fortunate to have found this program and excited about sharing our positive experience with other families struggling with learning to read.

When Dereck was introduced to Readable English the summer before 4th grade, he was at a 2nd grade reading level.  When he started school in the fall, he was assessed at a 4th grade reading level.

Readable English has improved the opportunities and possibilities Dereck will have in his life.

My son really struggled with English and subjects that involved having to read significant amounts. Readable English has made a world of difference - he is now confident to read aloud and understands the meanings of words as well.

Eliza is an EL coordinator within a high school. There are many EL students needing support with their reading and pronunciation. Eliza will use the student self-paced implementation model, so that students at different EL proficiency levels can learn the glyphs at their own pace. After learning the glyphs, Eliza will support students in the flexible implementation style where the focus is converting relevant materials into Readable English using the browser extension. She knows her students will benefit from reading their required content in Readable English, and she can always come back to the learning portal and use the provided practice materials as needed.

Geoff is a middle school SpEd teacher. He has multiple classes of students across grades 6-8 needing support in reading. He sees his students every day, but only for 20 minutes. Geoff will use the combined implementation model for teaching the glyphs. He likes that over two weeks he will be explicitly introducing the content to students each day, while his students use the Student-Led Lessons to practice independently.Because he sees his students every day, after learning the glyphs he will follow the Teacher-Led Structured Lessons implementation model. He can feel confident knowing his students are getting a mix of provided reading practice materials, as well as time to convert their own materials.

What is Readable English?

Readable English is an evidence-based reading aid that simplifies the process of learning to read by embedding a pronunciation guide directly into words. This approach makes every word phonetically transparent, enabling students to decode words quickly and independently, reducing frustration and increasing fluency.

Readable English adds a simple, intuitive layer to traditional English text:

  • Unmarked Letters – Make their usual sound.
  • Grayed-out Letters – Indicate silent letters.
  • Syllable Breaks – Break words into readable chunks.
  • Glyphs – Provide visual cues for irregular sounds.

HOW DOES THE STRUCTURED READING PRACTICE APP WORK?

The app is specifically designed for older kids in late elementary through high school who are still struggling to read, including those with dyslexia or who are multilingual learners, and need to catch up quickly. 
  • Breaking the Code – In as little as 2.5 hours, students learn 21 glyphs that act as visual cues to help them decode grade level words, setting the stage for independent reading.
  • Structured Reading Practice - Your child will develop fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension via specially designed reading exercises that are both fun and engaging, intended to promote 20 minutes of reading practice per day.
  • Reading Support on the Go – Your child will have access to our browser extension to convert digital content into the Readable English format, making any website or online text accessible.

Proven Results

 

Three independent, peer-reviewed studies confirm the effectiveness of Readable English. On average, students using Readable English improve at twice the rate of students in control groups for both reading fluency and comprehension.

These gains often appear early, as students build phonemic awareness, phonics, and orthographic mapping skills.
