In 1990, based upon decades of her own research and experience, Solomon developed Reading For Sure,[1] a method for teaching effective English literacy to both children and adults.

Solomon returned to formal study in the 1960s, completing degrees in English and Clinical Psychology at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales.

She received a master's degree in psychology (1974) and was awarded a PhD in education from Murdoch University (1980); her thesis[2] was based upon ideas outlined in her earlier study Learning To Think[3] (1973).

[4] Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Solomon developed a method of reading which simplified the written English language and greatly increased its consistency for readers.

In 1993, Solomon founded World Literacy International to manage and operate a campaign to disseminate RFS to the wider public.
