Science based

The FUNetix patented curriculum has been "real-world" field tested with thousands of kids for more than 17 years. It's based on an intricate understanding of neuroscience, linguistics, language, and orthography, which make up the fundamental principles of how the brain processes the written English code. The FUNetix app is the absolute best and most logical pathway for teaching a developing brain how to read English.

Your Child will:

◆ Progress independently with limited need for guidance and supervision

◆ Learn to read confidently

◆ Enjoy learning how to read

◆ Practice anywhere, at any time, on any device

Is it right for your child?

FUNetix works for children who don't know the alphabet or can't read a single word. FUNetix uses symbols, animations, and letters to teach your child how to read quickly and correctly. The app provides instant feedback, enabling your child to learn confidently, while having fun. The 12 hour reading curriculum, disguised as an app, progresses in a stepwise manner, encouraging your child as they complete the course. Your student embarks on an adventure where they meet new friends and collect treasures, while learning to read.

FUNetix is free

There is no charge for our basic 12 hours of curriculum that will take your child from the ABC’s to an approximate 2nd-grade reading level. Our mission at the American Youth Literacy Foundation 501 (c) (3) is to create an opportunity for every child to build a solid foundation in reading, enabling them to reach their true potential without limitations!

From Our Users

Engaging & Fun

- C.B.

“My son really enjoys the app and is having a lot of fun using it. I like it because he very quickly was understanding the concept of what he was doing and immediately was improving in reading. He is able to do this himself, but I have been sitting beside him to see how he is doing... From a teaching perspective, I really like the app as well...I think this app is great! My son wants to keep using it and is excited to use it, and I can see him actively learning and learning quickly.”

Builds Confidence

- S.S.

“She struggles with transposing letters like b and d which hurts her confidence reading. This system seems to be helping her build that confidence because it takes out that issue with transposition in learning sounds."

Intuitive to Use

- Laurie B., Age 68

"I think your system is fantastic and intuitive. I’m amazed that it wasn’t invented centuries ago. I learned how to read and write it [the phonetic code] in under an hour."

Wonderful Educational Tool

- Keith K.

"As an educational tool, this app works wonders for early readers! I can attest to that fact because I used to teach the FUNetix curriculum to struggling young readers, in person, and now I can use the app as a tool - which makes the whole learning process more interactive and fun with the student! I highly recommend this app!"

A Game-Changer

- Nicole M.

"I've had the privilege of meeting with R. Kali Woodward and his team at the American Youth Literacy Foundation 501 c 3. FUNetix is a game-changer for young students struggling to read. FUNetix is free on iTunes & Google Play, remote learning support is available from volunteers, and the modules speak for themselves. Please share this, check it out, download the app, or contact AYLF with questions."
