Every child can learn to read.
Ready, Set, Reading! was built on a simple belief: every child can read fluently — they just need systematic, individualized instruction. We pair the Science of Reading with AI child-speech recognition to give every child that 1-on-1 tutoring experience, dynamically.
Meet the founder
Meet Dr. Sean
“As a special educator and reading tutor, I watched countless children struggle with standard school curriculums. I saw firsthand that every child can read fluently — they just need systematic, individualized instruction. I built Ready, Set, Reading! to give every child access to that exact 1-on-1 tutoring experience dynamically.”
Why Dr. Sean's approach is different
Doctoral expertise
Dr. Sean holds his Doctorate in Special Education, specializing in how the brain processes language, phonetic decoding, and learning hurdles.
Tested on real readers
He didn't build this app in a tech incubator. He built it as an active reading tutor and educator who has successfully taken countless non-readers and turned them into fluent book-lovers.
Built to save teachers and parents time
Dr. Sean saw that both classroom teachers and parents are stretched incredibly thin, so he engineered a seamless, independent assistant that bridges the gap between school and home.
Designed to save teachers and parents time
Dr. Sean engineered Ready, Set, Reading! to be a seamless, independent assistant that bridges the gap between school and home.
For teachers
It acts as a high-fidelity classroom assistant. When students use the app independently during center time, they walk away truly prepared to read — freeing up educators to focus heavily on core instruction without constantly playing catch-up.
For parents
It eliminates the nightly homework tears. Parents no longer have to play the stressful role of an untrained reading tutor — the app provides the patient, expert phonics instruction your child needs entirely on its own.
Dyslexia & speech support
Because Ready, Set, Reading! was engineered by a Doctor of Special Education, it was built from the ground up to support neurodivergent children and students who struggle with traditional reading models. We don't force children into a rigid mold — our platform adapts to meet them exactly where they are.
Built with dyslexia in mind
Traditional reading methods that rely on visual word-memorization or guessing from pictures often cause children with dyslexia to fall behind. Ready, Set, Reading! bypasses this friction with explicit, systematic phonics.
- Structured literacy: words are broken down into their smallest phonetic units, teaching the mechanical rules of decoding.
- Visual stability: a clean, distraction-free interface reduces cognitive load, so students with spatial or processing challenges can focus entirely on letter-sound relationships.
Speech-language impairment (SLI) mode
For children with speech sound disorders, apraxia, or expressive language delays, standard voice-recognition software can be an exercise in immense frustration. Ready, Set, Reading! features a unique SLI accommodations mode designed to encourage rather than discourage.
