My focus is to expand the reach of the Nardagani Reading Program, so we may teach struggling readers the basic skill of reading. The Nardagani Reading Program is inspired by the Japanese Hiragana coding system, which was developed hundreds of years ago. As a result of this simple method, Japan has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. In my 20s I learned to read Japanese in one week. I adapted the Japanese method to English. Now, reading English is easy too!
