Hello 👋, I’m Russ Fugal, an award-winning author 🏆 and experienced software developer from New York. I'm the founder of SARA’s Books, an initiative aimed at revolutionizing literacy education.

I’m currently working on transforming the landscape of literacy education 🌍. I have developed innovative solutions called SARA (SARAs assessment and recommendation algorithms) and EAR (Engaged Aided Reading) to promote reading fluency 🚀. SARA uses personalized assessments to recommend content that best supports fluent reading for each individual reader 📚.

As part of my broader project, I’m developing open-source projects 🔧 like remark-interactive-words , a plugin for remark designed to facilitate Aided Reading (AR) on digital devices 🖥️.

💖 Sponsor

Your sponsorship is incredibly important to SARA's Books. The funds 💰 will be used to support the continued development of open-source tools (like remark-interactive-words) to support research into EAR, allowing us to refine these tools, add new features, and expand their reach. These tools support our efforts in conducting rigorous research 🧪 to validate our hypothesis about literacy instruction, creating a more comprehensive approach to literacy that encompasses both sight words and phonics 🔡.

By sponsoring us, you're not just supporting our open-source projects - you're contributing to a larger vision of transforming literacy education and closing the literacy gap 💪. Your support will help us push boundaries and bring our innovative solutions to more emerging readers around the world 🌎.

Thanks!

Thank you for considering sponsorship. Join us in our mission and let's work together to shape the future of reading instruction.
