Ronald Kingsley Read (19 February 1887 – February 1975) was one of four contestants chosen to share the prize money for the design of the Shavian alphabet, a completely new alphabet intended for writing English. He was later appointed sole responsible designer of the alphabet. In 1966, after extensive testing of Shavian with English speakers from around the world, Read introduced Quikscript, a revised form of his Shavian alphabet. Quikscript, also known as the "Read alphabet", has more ligatures than Shavian, which makes it easier to write by hand. Its appearance is more cursive than Shavian.

| - Ronald Kingsley (19 de febrero de 1887-febrero de 1975) fue uno de cuatro concursantes escogidos para compartir el dinero del premio por el diseño del alfabeto shaviano, un alfabeto completamente nuevo para escribir inglés. Más tarde fue nombrado como el único diseñador responsable del alfabeto. En 1966, después de pruebas extensas del alfabeto shaviano con hablantes ingleses de todo el mundo, Read introdujo Quikscript, una forma revisada de su alfabeto shaviano. Quikscript, también conocido como el «alfabeto Read», tiene más ligaduras que el shaviano, lo que lo hace más fácil de escribir a mano. Su aspecto es más cursivo que el shaviano. A unas cuantas vísperas su muerte, él completó un alfabeto nuevo llamado (ahora ), basado, probablemente buscando un aumento en las posibilidades de aceptación popular, en el alfabeto latino. (es)

A few days before his death, he completed a new alphabet called Soundspell (now Readspel), based, probably for increased chances of popular acceptance, on the Latin script. In the early 1960s Read also produced the quarterly journal Shaw-script, which was printed using the Shavian alphabet. (en)
