Why Us? About AnyOneCanRead ®

AnyOneCanRead ® is a FREE digital-online, all-inclusive "learning-to-read-experience"

AOCR ® is largely built on the highly respected Core Knowledge ® curriculum. Our Kindergarten-to-4th-grade curriculum covers all subject areas, except for math. Our plan is to build through 12th-grade.

The AOCR ® learning-to-read-experience is enhanced by a revolutionary new assistive reading technology, “The Magic Ladder,” that provides the most comprehensive explicit and systematic “phonetics” experience ever, to help build students’ imperative decoding skills.

AOCR ® is designed to provide an adaptable and vastly more individualized and differentiated environment for our nation’s students — whether with classroom instruction, interventions, independent reading, homeschooling, or English-language-learning — unlike what has ever been done before.

Delivering a broad domain knowledge range of subject matter, AOCR ®’s curriculum — through its current 4th-grade status — exposes readers to over 26,000 unique vocabulary words. Our ultimate goal is to expose high school grads to a 100,000 unique-word vocabulary, arming students to be at a true written-English-language-capable college readiness level.

Our materials are intentionally designed to better help children to master critical foundational “skills and mechanics” in the very earliest reading-learning years of Kindergarten-to-2nd grade.

Intuitive by design, new words are always introduced at the beginning of every single lesson, for oral pre-teaching review and mastery.

Adaptable for readers at all levels, AOCR ® levels, matches, and paces content to the skill of the reader, but then guides students up the learning curve with high expectations for ALL, leaving no one behind.

AOCR ® is unlike any "learning-to-read-experience" ever available, bundling "science-of-reading" best practices inside one convenient and highly comprehensive online digital portal

What We Believe

Based on our comprehensive research of the "science-of-reading"

Learning to read the confusing written English language is very challenging for a large majority of our population.
Socioeconomic status of a student should not be a determinant regarding their ability to learn to read.
Students at any age who are deemed "behind" CAN catch up with the RIGHT combination of intervention and acceleration approaches, inside of our learning-to-read-experience.
Technology holds great promise in leveling the playing field for all learners, along with the critical element of using broad-domain-knowledge reading content that includes a substantial amount of social studies.
High student-to-teacher class size ratios are inevitable, and they impede necessary individualized and differentiated instruction in a group-learning environment, which is a huge scalability issue and a daunting barrier to learning to read.
The types of instructional materials that are utilized in America's classrooms have a significant direct impact on student learning outcomes. Students learn primarily through interaction with teachers and from the quality of the reading content that is placed before them.
The "system" forces most teachers to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for and creating their own individual classroom's specific instructional materials, creating a wide variety of content quality and knowledge-building across America's classrooms.

Based on these beliefs, we created the AnyOneCanRead ® (AOCR) “learning-to-read-experience” that helps to remove the multitude of barriers that make learning to read English so difficult, for so many.

Core Premises

The Core Basis for the AOCR ® Concept is Built upon these Premises

Mastery-level decoding skills are critical.
Massive vocabulary development is essential.
Instantaneous interactive word recognition and word understanding assistance is imperative.
Technology must bridge our classrooms' scalability, individualization / differentiation, and teacher-training challenge gaps.
Each reader is a unique individual who learns at their own pace, but no child should EVER be left behind.
Highly superior curriculum need not be costly or hard to implement, and it should be easily accessible to ALL students.
Reading "programs and methodologies" should be simple for not only students, but for teachers, tutors, and parents, as well.

The AOCR ® content and technology advantages encompass all of these essential attributes into one comprehensive and turnkey learning-to-read-experience.

AnyOneCanRead® (“AOCR”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky aiming to help improve U.S. literacy rates by developing a learning-to-read experience that is powered by reading science best practices.
