    Use the International Phonetic Alphabet.

    /rɛːd/, /riːd/
    /ˈlɛd/, /ˈlɛd/

    Or make everyone switch to a language that is orthographically transparent, like Finnish, Serbo-Croatian, and Spanish.

      English has no rules, we should all revel in the chaos rather than having our language be stringently defined.
