Readeez are a new way to learn reading, math, ESL, spelling and other useful things. A Readee is a short video, usually musical, where you see and hear every syllable at the same time. We call this SyllableSync. More than 150 Readeez have been produced so far. Readeez were created by Michael Rachap.

"My oldest really struggles with dyslexia, but he is loving the Readeez." Carrie S., Shelton, WA 

"We've been singing along so loud to Songeez that I'm sure you can hear us in the States!" Paul Q., Ireland

"My daughter and I just sat and watched a bunch of Readeez. We both love them. After "Flip Flops" she started telling me how to spell "flip flops." Now she's walking around the house singing and reciting "Hangin' Around." So much fun!" Dave S., Richmond 

"My family adores you and your work! My toddler has all your songs memorized. Readeez is a huge part of our lives. I believe Readeez is hugely responsible for her reading. She started reading phonetically at 18-months, just after we showed her Readeez for a couple of weeks. Hope you won't stop making those wonderful videos." Chi Chi S., The Phillipines

"Mekai [age 4] and I were talking and he said that the word "the" is spelled "t-h-e." I said "Great job! Where did you learn that?" He said, '"Isabel!'" Samara W., Atlanta

Modes of Transportation

in tags ,

The germ of the idea for this song goes back to about 2001. I seem to recall singing it on vacation in Hawaii. It was just about the dumbest thing I could imagine. 

For years it was just this a cappella thing, but eventually it matured into a song, with harmony 'n' guitars 'n' piano 'n' everything.

I think the strong repetitive pattern of the lyrics makes this well-suited to teach the sight words the comprise the verses. And I like the contrast between the simple, single-syllable verses and that one incredibly long word in the chorus. I mean, if you're one or two years old, "transportation" might as well be "antidisestablishmentarianism."
