I'm writing to inform you that a newly developed, free and open source Chrome browser extension can probably fundamentally change how America's kids learn to read.
The extension automatically adds diacritics to English words on Web pages to show word pronunciations, based on an easy-to-learn scheme called PIE.
The assumption is, as soon as a kid is taught the one-page PIE scheme, he will be able to read English Web pages independently.
The extension's Chrome Web Store page:

The project's official website:

The PIE scheme (one-page chart):
