We at Capit Learning are deeply passionate about changing the course of people’s lives by providing them with the ability to read and understand the written word.

What is CAPIT Reading

The CAPIT Reading Curriculum ensures all PK-2 students learn to read by by improving and simplifying reading instruction. CAPIT Reading is primarily a Tier-1 phonics curriculum that ensures students get the phonics they need in Tier-1 so they can stay in Tier-1 and don't require remediation.

How We Got Our Name?

CAPIT is an acronym for Concept And Personality Integration Technique and reflects our educational philosophy: We take abstract Concepts—phonemes—And give them Personality by Integrating them with Visual Mnemonics.

Why and How We Created CAPIT

CAPIT’s co-founders have years of teaching experience in both early and adult literacy instruction in both English and Hebrew. Together, they developed a new method for Hebrew reading instruction, and for a few years, they trained teachers and sold their Hebrew program to schools in the US and abroad. (CLICK HERE to learn more about the Hebrew language products and services.) Teaching Hebrew and creating a Hebrew reading program gave them an outlier perspective on becoming a reader, and they wondered if the same principles could apply to the English language. After much research and testing, they developed the CAPIT Method, a profound departure from traditional instructional methods.

To empirically validate their methodology, they began designing and testing their new reading solution on students of all ages and abilities. The Rav-Noys first paper-tested their curriculum. They recruited students ages 4 and 5 with no previous literacy instruction and began teaching them to read. For two years, they wrote lessons, taught them, learned, and adjusted. Getting immediate feedback from students gave them a clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

Now that they had their curriculum, it was time to bring it to “digital” life. To ensure that this new EdTech curriculum would work as intended, they became “volunteer teachers” in a Los Angeles charter school classroom and spent three days a week in the classroom, testing each design in the classroom with real students. The Kindergarten kids loved them. Of course, being parents of two kids with severe reading struggles has provided them with empathy and perspective.

Today, teachers and students across the country benefit from CAPIT’s unique reading solution that makes learning and teaching to read easy and enjoyable.
