*I CAN READ was founded in 2000 by Educational Psychologists Antony Earnshaw and Annabel Seargeant.
*Earnshaw’s son was diagnosed with a reading disability and as a result was struggling in school.
*The academic’s determination to find a reading and literacy solution for his son that was simple, structured and natural led to the collaboration with Seargeant and resulted in the creation of the I Can Read System.
*The duo developed the system based on 17 years of researching how children learn to read and in particular, how to address the problem of treating children with reading difficulties.
