This is an opportunity to help English-language learners, immigrants, youth with learning and developmental disabilities, and at-risk youth.

About our Readers
Readeezy’s target audience consists of struggling, disabled older readers; therefore, we focus on publishing high-interest, low-reading-level stories that have illustrations on every page. These types of stories are engaging for their age group and can be easily read and understood by them. Unfortunately, a lot of books that are accessible to struggling readers are tailored towards elementary students. Older students are not interested in the juvenile content of these books, which leads to them refusing to read, which leads to them continuing to struggle. Our vision is to create a digital library that will help them enjoy the activity of reading again.
Readeezy stories are 3,500-4,000 word stories written at a 3rd or 4th grade level with 5-6 chapters.
