I have absolutely no reservations in endorsing the Easyread system

I have absolutely no reservations in endorsing the Easyread system and have strongly recommended this to several people already. My son was just turning 9 years old when we started the programme and had made minimal progress at school with his reading. He was receiving teacher-aide time, and we were paying for a private tutor; we read with him daily and went through lists of sight words – nothing seemed to make any difference. He was unable to sound out the most basic words and once he had deciphered one he was not able to then read the same word if it came up again on the next line. The entire process was demoralising, it felt punitive and we were desparate for something to help him and us. He is a bright lad and was feeling more distressed at his own lack of progress. The Easyread programme was something that we comfortably fitted into our daily routine and by the end of it Isaac’s reading had moved up 8 (or 9 – I would need to double check) levels at school. He had only moved up 4 levels in the four years of attending school before commencing this programme. He wasn’t guessing at words any more and there was a flow to his reading. Now he is able to pick reading books that are of interest to him and I am astounded at the difference and I still feel very emotional listening to him read. I am so incredibly grateful to David and the entire team for their support and good advice and feel very fortunate that we found this programme when we did. We had also worked on Isaac’s eye tracking with exercises provided by a Behavioural Optometrist but it was only the intensive eye tracking exercises and tips provided by Easyread that actually sorted this problem out.

We had always been told, by different professionals, that Isaac learns differently and that we need to provide the information differently – we just had no idea how we were to do that – until we stumbled across this programme whilst endlessly searching on-line for help. It would be great for all children identified as struggling emergent readers to work through the Easyread system.

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!
