Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone involved in Easyread. Tonight, before Harry went to bed and he decided to read a story to his brother. We heard him work his way through the whole book, decoding as he went and correcting himself and re-reading a sentence...

Peter is doing really well on the course. He is happy to do a lesson a day, and enjoys doing it. He likes the decoding without the text, as he can read things that his brother and sister can’t! I am definitely happy with his progress so far, and I’m sure...

Since starting Easyread 6 weeks ago, the good news is that Will has changed from disliking reading and us fighting to try and keep him reading; to him enjoying it. He will write out a list of words and copy from books for enjoyment because he can. A large step seems...

Rafferty is continuing to improve all the time and still enjoys Easyread a lot. He is re-reading every line in the story and the only mistakes he makes on the games are when he’s fidgeting and hits the mouse on the wrong thing, so his accuracy is amazing. His...

We have seen a remarkable change in James in the past few months. His confidence is sky high and I am now content that I am actually helping him with the challenge of learning to read rather than getting frustrated and cross! He re-reads all the text until he is...

Seren continues to be really enthusiastic about Easyread. She rarely guesses words, when she does, it is usually during the re-reading of the passage, and when she is tired. I always pull her up on it, and we re-read again. She continues to decode most words, although...

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for what you’ve done for Theo. He’s been doing Easyread since 1/2 term and the progress he has made is incredible verging on miraculous. He now “gets” it (the ten day blending session seemed to be a real...

Catelin is thrilled that you will be sending her another certificate! I must say that I am pretty thrilled myself actually. Yesterday when she did her literacy homework, despite some considerable rebelling initially because at first glance there was a lot of reading,...

Jake’s progress has been amazing. In fact he has progressed to such a point that in July he was marked as ‘above average’ in reading and now he is really reading at the same level as others in his class. His spelling could be better but it is slowly...

After 6 weeks on the course Sebbie does seem a lot more confident in his reading both on Easyread as well as his school reading books. He seems to like the Easyread format and he willingly goes on it on a daily basis without much prompting. So far the program seems to...

I have some very exciting news to share… I actually cried last night I was so proud of Izzy! Usually I read a bedtime story to her and because I’ve done this for near on 7 years now, I was utterly gob smacked when she told me that she was reading ME the bedtime story....

Izzy always loved being read to. Mum Sheryl remembers that when she turned 2 she was able to recite all her favourite books word-for-word. It seemed impossible that her daughter would be anything but a high flying reader once school began. However when Izzy...
