Case Studies

Easyread has changed Joshua’s life!

We started noticing problems with Joshua’s reading in Year 1. He was not progressing and his teacher noticed that he was guessing many words. He had extra intervention with a staff member hearing Joshua read most days at school. This was expected to help his progress but it didn’t happen. His teacher didn’t understand what the problem was. We were also hearing him read regularly at home.

At the start of year 2, Joshua’s new teacher mentioned the possibility of dyslexia to us. I started researching this on the internet and came across Easyread. I read the “story of James” and it could have been written about Joshua. I knew then that we needed to give Easyread a try.

Our reading break through happened around lesson 75. Joshua read one of his school books to me from cover to cover and fluently. This was a very proud moment as prior to that Joshua rarely finished a book, normally due to frustration.

Easyread also picked up an eye-tracking problem, which we have managed to resolve with easy exercises.

We have now completed over 200 lessons and we are amazed at the reading progress Joshua has made. He has jumped 5 book bands at school and now can easily read difficult words. We hardly ever see him guessing and he now will read place names, signs or leaflets and enjoys reading. Thanks so much and I am so glad we found Easyread!!

I think the support you have given over the phone and Skype calls has also been excellent. Our main reason for starting Easyread was to help with Joshua’s reading and it has exceeded our expectations and am happy that we can continue to work on his spelling at home. It is harder to give feedback on Holly (Joshua’s older sister who also did the course) as her reading was generally ok to start with but she has enjoyed the Easyread lessons and it has helped keep harmony in the household as she was feeling jealous of the daily one to one time Joshua was having when he was the only one doing Easyread!!

Overall it has been a good experience and I honestly believe that it has changed Joshua’s life!! Thanks so much!

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!
