Readeezy was developed by Maria Finaro Cleary, a school superintendent with a disabled daughter who pretty much stopped reading when she was about 11 years old. In fact, she struggled so much with books that she often said, “Reading makes my brain hurt.” Dr. Cleary has dedicated Readeezy to reluctant and challenged readers everywhere, especially those who are teens and young adults. Why? By the time they reach this age, there are few books for them to really enjoy. If they have pictures, they are often too juvenile. If they have age-appropriate stories, the vocabulary and sentence structure is sometimes difficult. Readeezy is different. It is an online platform of books that provides illustrations, animations, text to speech, and interactive questions to invite readers to actively participate in the story. And they can do it independently! Email maria@readeezy for more information.
