Orton-Gillingham rigorous. Every word decodable. Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger. Built for kids who've been told reading is hard — by a dad who's watched his twins cry through decodable readers.
This is a pre-order. Quest Readers is still in production — Chapter 1 ships to subscribers first, once it clears editorial review. Your $49/mo subscription includes one new decodable adventure chapter every month, the published phoneme list for that chapter, and a printable parent guide.
Cancel anytime from the link in any receipt email. Every payment is refundable in full until Chapter 1 ships — and if we decide not to ship, we refund everyone automatically. Questions? See our Terms or contact us.
Chapter 02 — The Gap
Scientifically proven. Effective for dyslexic readers. Your child would rather do anything else. You spent $700 and still end the session in tears.
Kids love the games. But they mix in sight-word guessing that teaches dyslexic brains exactly the wrong strategy. You're undoing the damage for years.
Phonics-safe, yes. But the stories are flat. No one begs for chapter two. The kid reads 'Pam has a cat' and closes the book forever.
The problem isn't the method.
The problem is the motivation.
Chapter 03 — The Answer
Branching chapters. Villains. Choices. Your kid begs for chapter two the way they beg for Minecraft.
Every word follows the Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence. No guessing. No sight-word traps. Safe for dyslexic readers.
Each chapter unlocks the next phoneme. Kids finish the book and look up wondering when they started reading novels.
I'm Dr. Blane Jackson, DDS/MBA. I have twins. I watched them hate reading. I'm not shipping something my own kids wouldn't finish.
"Sam had a map. The map had a mark. Sam ran to the hill."
Short a, short i, CVC patterns only. Every word decodable in the first two lessons of any OG program. Yet the kid wants to know what's at the mark.

Not ready to pre-order? This part is free, no card required. We're building this for real families, and the questions below decide what we build first. Takes 90 seconds.
Questions we've heard
No. Think of it as the thing kids actually want to read between their lessons. It reinforces every phoneme rule in the OG scope, but in story form. Families who use it say their kids ask to do their reading program because they want to unlock the next chapter.
Every word in every chapter is engineered against the OG sequence. We publish the exact phoneme set each chapter uses, so you and your tutor can verify. Irregular high-frequency words only appear after the corresponding lesson introduces them.
Dr. Blane Jackson — DDS/MBA, former practice owner, parent of twins learning to read. Brainiac Kids is the parent brand (we've run it since 2021). Quest Readers is our first literacy imprint. We're building in the open and this survey decides what we build first.
Chapter 1 goes to pre-order and waitlist subscribers first. If this validation round shows real demand, we ship a 5-chapter CVC pilot within 60 days. You'll be the first to read it — and you'll tell us what works.
A monthly subscription that starts delivering when Chapter 1 clears editorial review: one new decodable adventure chapter per month, the published phoneme list for that chapter, and a printable parent guide. You can cancel anytime, every payment is refundable in full until Chapter 1 ships, and if we decide not to ship the pilot we refund everyone automatically.
