Eyal Rav-Noy

Co-Founder, Capit Learning

Eyal Rav-Noy is the co-founder of Capit Learning and a driving force behind CAPIT Reading, a Sound-to-Print phonics curriculum for grades P-5. He brings two decades of direct experience teaching people to read: for twenty years, he ran an adult education center specializing in adult literacy, working with the students for whom conventional reading instruction had already failed once. That experience—watching which methods actually moved adults from non-reading to reading—shaped his conviction that the English code can be taught explicitly and completely, rather than guessed at.

He is the author of three books and has lectured across the United States on reading and literacy. He also authored a Hebrew reading curriculum that remains in wide use today. His paper A Comprehensive Algorithmic Approach to Reading Instruction sets out the research foundations of the CAPIT method, drawing on the Simple View of Reading, the National Reading Panel, the self-teaching hypothesis, cognitive load theory, and the work of cognitive psychologist Diane McGuinness.

Expertise

Eyal's work focuses on why traditional Print-to-Sound phonics leaves so many students behind, and how a Sound-to-Print approach—starting with the sounds learners already speak and teaching how those sounds are written—makes the English code learnable for beginners and struggling readers alike. He has written and presented on the evidence base for reading instruction, the limits of Orton-Gillingham, and what it means for a reading program to be genuinely evidence-based.
