About FUNetix 🧩
FUNetix is a patented, science-based method that makes learning to read incredibly straightforward for children. The FUNetix 12 Hours Reading App is accessible on the App Store, Google Play, and Amazon App Store.
Established over 19 years ago, FUNetix combines ancient, proven methodologies with modern technology. Its core, rooted in the Greek "diacritics" system devised over 2,000 years ago, helps readers detect the hidden sounds in every word, making reading comprehension natural and intuitive.
The Unique Legacy of FUNetix 💡
- Based on a time-tested system used for centuries in Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic languages.
- Systematically adapted for English, presenting a child-friendly and uncomplicated way to decode words.
- Empowers children to "map" all 44 English sounds to letters and letter combinations, eliminating guesswork in sounding out words.
Our Mission: Transforming Literacy for All 🚀
Join the American Youth Literacy Foundation, a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2008. Our goal is to ensure every child in America learns to read by the end of third grade, closing educational gaps and preventing lifelong illiteracy.
With the free-to-download FUNetix app, children can master reading in just 12 hours of total play. Currently, millions of American children struggle with reading, leading to over 10 million high school dropouts over the past two decades — but change is possible!
