Read Nardagani App Launches Nationally, Bringing Science‑of‑Reading‑Aligned Instruction to Struggling Readers of All Ages
Nardagani announces the official release of the Read Nardagani app, a breakthrough reading program designed for children, teens, adults, neurodiverse learners, and English language learners, who have struggled with traditional methods. Built on explicit, systematic phonics instruction and fully aligned with the Science of Reading and The Reading League’s Defining Guide, the app offers a fast, intuitive path to reading success.
A Method That Removes Guesswork and Builds Confidence
The Read Nardagani app uses 12 simple visual symbols placed under letters to show exactly how each sound should be pronounced. This eliminates the guesswork that often leads struggling readers to rely on pictures, context, or memorization, strategies the Science of Reading has shown to be ineffective.
“Readers deserve clarity, not confusion,” said Narda Pitkethly, creator of the Nardagani method. “Our app gives learners a visual roadmap through English text, helping them decode words accurately from day one. Once decoding becomes automatic, the symbols can disappear like training wheels.”
The method supports orthographic mapping, the brain’s process for storing words for instant recognition, and aligns with the Science of Reading’s emphasis on explicit, systematic phonics, cumulative practice, and decoding as the foundation of comprehension.
Proven Results in Classrooms and Communities
The Nardagani method has already demonstrated strong outcomes in pilot programs across schools, detention centers, and international settings. In one study at Buhl Middle School in Idaho, sixth‑grade students gained an average of 1.1 grade levels in reading over a single semester despite COVID‑19 disruptions and reduced instructional time. Average to advanced readers gained improved spelling scores.
Educators report that learners who previously struggled with phonics or reading anxiety often begin reading full sentences within days.
A Tool for the Learner of Any Age or Background
The app includes interactive games, guided audio, practice coded books with tap-to-cue instant phonics help, Tutor Mode helps instructors to individualize the learning content to each student, and a supportive character who walks learners through each step. Lessons are short, engaging, and self‑paced, ideal for busy adults and families.
“Our mission is simple,” said Pitkethly. “We want every learner at any age to experience the dignity and confidence that comes from being able to read.”
Nardagani is dedicated to helping struggling readers learn to read quickly, clearly, and confidently. The Nardagani method is grounded in the Science of Reading and designed to support learners of all ages through explicit, systematic phonics instruction.
