STRUGGLING READERS

"We really saw a huge improvement in her self-esteem. She wanted to go to school. Now she’s reading for fun. We were just on spring break and she started pulling out books to read. She’s proud of herself. She wants to learn. She feels like more of an equal at school with her peers."

Emily ~ 3rd Grade Parent

DYSLEXIA

"I am so glad we did this because now Naomi is reading at the correct level and her improvements have been more in the past six months than she has had since starting Kindergarten."

Holly ~ 4th Grade Parent

MULTILINGUAL LEARNERS

"The conversion tools created by Readable English provide the first essential step to breaking down the accessibility barrier. Our students can take material from any of their classes and apply the glyph system they've been taught to decode material from across other subjects."

Ben ~ 9th Grade ELA Teacher
