About Reading Road

Transforming Literacy Education, Empowering Lives.

Our Story

Reading Road™ was created to address a crisis hiding in plain sight: the struggle with literacy faced by millions of individuals across North America and beyond. More than half of adults read below a sixth-grade level, a reality that limits opportunities, fuels cycles of poverty, and keeps people from reaching their full potential. We believe literacy is a fundamental right, one that opens doors to independence, self-confidence, and empowerment.

Our mission is rooted in the understanding that traditional educational methods aren’t meeting the needs of every learner. Reading Road™ was designed to bridge that gap, using advanced AI technology to provide a learning experience that adapts to each person’s unique pace, challenges, and achievements. With real-time feedback, milestone celebrations, and personalized support, our platform guides learners step-by-step on a journey to literacy.

At Reading Road™, we envision a world where everyone, regardless of age, background, or circumstance, has the opportunity to unlock their potential through reading. We are committed to changing lives by creating an accessible, engaging, and effective path to literacy that empowers individuals and uplifts communities.
