I know that your child can
I’m Russ-T, a devoted father of three, a software engineer, and a children’s book author. My e-reader, Read by EAR, will help your child read better and ignite a love for books. Read by EAR, which I pioneered and proved with my children, effectively boosts reading fluency and fosters confidence.


1st- to 4th-grade fluency in just a few months
SARA’s Books is designed to help children of all ages and reading levels improve their reading fluency with powerful cognitive aides backed by science.

Sara recommends reading assignments in the e-reader
Sara knows how fluently your child reads every word, and she crafts a positive experience of mastery with each recommendation.

Based on aided reading, learning unfamiliar words in the e-reader is easy
Your child is guaranteed to read fluently in the e-reader, while still learning to read new words at an accelerated pace with the touch of a button.

Your child will feel like a stronger reader, increasing their self-efficacy
SARA’s Books is a simple source of positive reading experiences. Your child is never expected to guess at a word, they are simply supported to perform exactly to their capability.
My son initially struggled with reading. He could easily name all the letters at four years old, still at five he often confused the letters b and d, or slowly recited the letters of a printed word out of order even while he dragged his finger across from left to right.
Reading has never been an easy pastime for me. I would like to think that dyslexia is more than struggle, that it is a diagnosis of power, and that my son and I share in these superpowers, even if only slightly, and even if it did initially cause anxiety about whether or not he would enjoy reading or hate school. I have learned so much about myself by watching my son learn to read and master it, despite the felt intimidation that we share. My goal is to sponsor more children in their primary literacy so that I can learn even more and perhaps prevent some frustration.
I am Russ-T Fugal. My three children were each struggling readers in unique ways, yet their reading proficiency in grades 6, 4, and 1 were above the 90th percentiles. SARA’s Books publishes products that I write and code with the goal of helping all children master reading.

Do these phrases sound familiar?
I understand the frustration and the worry. I’ve been there. I’ve seen my children struggle, and I’ve seen them succeed. Your child’s frustration mirrors your own; their struggle with reading and comprehension can lead to tension and a reduced interest in reading. However, my Read by EAR approach offers stress-free, one-on-one moments for you and your child, nurturing a love for reading without any frustration.
