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.
