I was at the end of my tether…

Grace has become more confident and willing to tackle a wider range of reading material as she now believes that ‘she can’ where as before she thought she ‘definitely couldn’t’ which would prevent her from even starting. The battles seem...

Big impact on confidence…

Apr 10, 2012 | Parent Reviews

I’m really glad we found EasyRead for Amy – it is having a big impact on her confidence. She now seems able to trust the letters she sees, as with the help of the pictures she can trust what the sound should be. Before, she was very frustrated with the...

All in all we are happy, and for me that is a huge part of the journey…

Ceri and I work daily – or as close to daily as we can – on Easyread and she is very happy to do so. She enjoys the activities and decodes clearly, accurately and always with a smile. At this stage her confidence is far greater, and her reluctance to read...

Adam is doing really well…

Adam is doing really well. He is certainly more likely to have a go at working out how to read signs and instructions – something he was very keen to avoid at all costs earlier this year. He has had some tests at school and the teacher could see improvements...

How We Read

Apr 6, 2012 | DM News Blog

Over the centuries there have been intense debates about how we read, with some pretty crazy ideas at times which you can read about in my book manuscript. For instance, one group followed the theory that ideas are the basic units of communication and are represented...

As a parent working through the 20/21 school year in distance learning with 3 elementary kids, there were at least some positive upsides. For example, my daughter Laine’s (2nd grade, 8 years old at start) reading ability (when she is such a bright, exuberant, creative, SMART kid) kept me up at night. Something was not connecting. No amount of pressure or more reading was making up for the missing pieces in her ability to read. I was literally awake in the middle of the night, by chance watching Dr. Morgan’s Facebook ad and knew he was talking about my daughter. I started crying and felt I had been given such a gift. By morning in February 2021 she was signed up and on her way to decoding and cracking her reading struggles. It’s not been easy all the time, we have struggled through some lessons with tears and frustration. BUT today, Laine passed her 223 lesson, earned her helicopter (the code words/spy prizes have been a great motivator), and has gone from a 1.5 grade reading level to reading at a 5th grade level with limited assistance in only 10 months. I am so grateful for the Easyread program. Their attention to detail, one on one phone calls and Zoom meet ups, quick response time to questions, and consideration for my kid’s development has made us feel cared for each step of the way. If you have looked into the Easyread program and David’s description of your child’s reading journey hits home, run don’t walk to sign up. It has been one of our favorite blessings of this crazy year and I shout it’s praises to anyone who has a struggling reader.

I was really skeptical about this for my 8 year old, how can 15 minutes a day and video, and games work? He struggled with blending and decoding. He know can use the trainer texts faster then I can figure out the word myself to see if he is correct. The system moves as he needs and the personal support is amazing.

What a fantastic programme! Our 8 yr old made such rapid progress I began to doubt myself whether she had had issues in the first place! When we looked at the video recording made at the beginning of the programme, her progress was remarkable within just a few weeks. She asks to do the session every day and complains if I don't have time - a massive difference from a child who used to invent the most incredible excuses to avoid reading before this. She now reads books in her own time and is even starting to get her head around spelling - all in less than 2 months. The personalised support from the Easyread facilitators is much better than I expected from an online course and the prizes are great too! Thank you Easyread!

Our daughter has loved the Easyread program. She thinks she is just playing fun games on the computer but she's actually improving her reading and spelling skills. Her Spelling grades have improved from 50% to 90% in only a few months. Thank you Easyread for an amazing program! I would highly recommend your program for any children struggling to read and spell.

Wow, this program works! My 9-year old became a more fluent reader within weeks of starting, and she really enjoyed doing the assignments (structured like fun games) every day! She never complained about it once, even 2 months in she was excited to decode the words and play the games in Easyread. And she has so much more confidence now. Thank you Easyread!
