As a freshman, Stephen chose to major in Chemistry at BYU, because Chemistry required him to read the fewest number of words. He chose Physical Chemistry, rather than Organic Chemistry, because Physical Chemistry students read fewer words than the Organic Chemistry students. When asked what he did in college...when he wasn ’ t studying...he had to respond with “ Nothing! I spent ALL my time studying. ” After developing the ReadMate system, he came to realize that, for good readers, life is a lot easier, and he wanted to share that with others. Currently, Stephen is tutoring AHS students, he will be teaching an advanced reading class for AHS high school students, and he ’ s developing plans for AHS on - line/Family School reading and literature courses that may also offer college credit .
