ABOUT US

We created Readability to help students close achievement gaps and learning loss. To provide an equitable, economical and personalized reading coach accessible to every student. We also wanted to make sure parents and educators have real-time information to track their students' reading progress. Finally, it had to be easy to implement, easy to use, and available anytime anywhere.

By helping students improve their reading skills and grow a love of reading, we are setting them up for a lifetime of success. We achieve this goal by providing innovative research based technology, necessary for children to develop their reading, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.

As technology entrepreneurs, we've had the privilege over the past 20 years to contribute to the advancement of humanity through technology. Our collective passion has always been to ensure the end-user of our products enjoys huge benefits.
