Ethan Pierce wants to make classic literature accessible to students of all linguistic and neurologic capabilities. A native of Maine and graduate of Gardiner High School, Ethan is a former Mitchell Scholar who pursued his passion for art and language at Harvard University in Boston. Grappling with undiagnosed dyslexia as a younger student prompted Ethan to go on to create Adaptive Reader. By blending AI and human editing, Adaptive Reader transforms classic texts into various reading levels and languages, while preserving their original meaning and artistry. Ethan’s work empowers students to engage with learning on their terms, fostering dignity and inclusion. Join our conversation with Ethan Pierce today on Radio Maine.
