Publishing PIE Books for Literacy

A "PIE book for literacy" is a book that tells a story in Phonetically Intuitive English (PIE), in the hope that the reader, a child in an English-speaking country learning to read, can start reading right away. The child will also get familiar with the spelling of words during such a reading process, so that he won't need the assistance of diacritics again in the future. We'll show a sample below and provide a toolkit for you to create such books.
