Questions, Answered Straight
Is everything on this page really free?
Yes — every tool here is free, with no account, no trial, no seat licenses, and no upsell, forever. GSU is a tuition-free platform operated by The Foundation for Global Instruction, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, funded by book sales (every PDF free; Kindle editions $3.99) and voluntary donations. Nothing on this page will ever ask you for a credit card.
Do I need an account?
No. You can take the diagnostic, face the Reading Mirror, work the Adult Literacy Lab, play every game, and talk with GENO with no account at all. Practice history on tool pages is stored only on your own device — GSU does not track you, sell data, or run ads.
Are the certificates real credentials?
Each Certificate of Comprehension is earned by passing a full 36-question verified exam — a real bar, not a participation trophy. Certificates carry unique serial numbers and can be publicly verified. GSU's founding rule is Pupils Before Profits: when a learner does not pass, GSU answers with honest feedback and a specific study path, never an empty pass-along.

If reading itself is the struggle, start instead with the Adult Literacy Lab — phonics built for adult dignity, with Tap-to-Listen on every word — then build measurable fluency with the Reading Mirror. There is no wrong door; every tool links to the next step.
