The Read Read

The Read Read™ is the first device that allows children to independently learn and practice phonics using best-practice literacy instruction. Children with various disabilities (including visual impairment and blindness, dyslexia, ASD, ADHD, and ODD) are using The Read Read™ to independently learn and practice phonics and braille. Developed at Harvard, with engineers from MIT, The Read Read™ is producing game-changing results, especially for kids with special needs: during our 5-month pilot, kids previously classified as ‘non-readers’ were able to learn to read using our device.
