Planetread

PlanetRead is a non-profit organization. Their goal is a world where everyone can read. They want to make sure people have access to good and affordable reading materials in their own language. Their main idea is called Same Language Subtitling, or SLS for short. Here is how it works. Many people love to watch movies or listen to film songs. PlanetRead adds subtitles to this content in the same language that is being spoken. This turns watching TV into a simple reading lesson. Because people watch these shows anyway, they learn to read without even trying.
