How SimpleRead works

1

Upload any text

Teachers can upload articles, lessons, books or classroom materials.

2

SimpleRead transforms the text

The platform generates one image for each sentence while the text is narrated. Students receive a multisensory reading experience that improves focus and comprehension.

3

Students read with support

Students follow the text, listen to narration and see the visual representation of each sentence. This allows each student to adapt to the way their brain processes information.

What changes for students

Students stay focused longer

Students understand what they read instead of memorizing words

Students feel more confident engaging with academic content

Students who avoided reading start participating again

Teachers spend less time adapting materials and more time teaching.

Schools are already exploring SimpleRead

Schools in the United States and internationally are beginning to use SimpleRead to support students with dyslexia, ADHD and other learning differences.

We are currently running pilot programs with schools and districts exploring new ways to make reading accessible.

Early feedback from educators highlights:

  • Higher engagement with reading materials
  • Better focus during reading sessions
  • More confidence from struggling readers

"SimpleRead removed barriers for my students with dyslexia and ADHD. Seeing the behavioral shift, from frustration and dependency to feeling empowered and capable of reading on their own, is what makes it all worthwhile."

Larissa de Paula
5th Grade Teacher

"My students gained a confidence they didn't have before. They come to me saying they no longer feel intimidated or 'behind' compared to others. The fear of reading tasks has vanished, and now they are super excited to use the platform."

Why SimpleRead was created

He built the platform with the mission of helping students who think differently access knowledge more easily.

The company collaborates with specialists in dyslexia and ADHD, including professionals with more than 30 years of experience supporting students with learning differences.

Today SimpleRead is working with schools and educators internationally to transform the reading experience.
