Thank you very much for Anna’s prize. Anna loves the Spy Glasses and has had great fun keeping an eye on us all !

I am on hard purple level wich is very hard…
I am on hard purple level wich is very hard. I can’t wait to be on gold reading level, which is hard as well and it’s one level above hard purple level. I am the best reader on my table and 2 of my friends are on white level which is 2 levels up from me. I’m not the only one who is on purple level because one boy on my table is on easy purple level, another boy is on hard turquoise and the other girl is on easy turquoise level.

I continue to be impressed with Easyread and tell everyone about it. Liam is making progress. Decoding is becoming easier for him. The games are still challenging but he is able to do them. Some words independently and some with help. He feels confident in the games with single words…Thanks a lot for your program, I love it!

I had a review with Zacharys teacher…
I had a review with Zacharys teacher and the parent reading program people also gave me some feedback. Zachary has been observed to be much more confident just in a general way in the classroom and school, a huge improvement.
I just want to say thank you for all your help with Orlanda and her reading…
I just want to say thank you for all your help with Orlanda and her reading. Before Easyread Orlanda found it really hard keeping up with her friends and she was significantly falling behind in her reading despite encouragement on all sides. It felt like we were somehow getting it wrong in every way. We were all being so encouraging but she seemed more and more frustrated, and despite lots of support seemed to start avoiding books more and more. She is a bright girl, we couldn’t work it out. Once we started Easyread however it was so so different. Orlanda switched from being a child that was downbeat about reading and avoided books and reading at all times, to a child who was keen to come and do her lessons each day. Nowadays, 6 months on, admitedly the gloss has worn off a little, and she isn’t always quite so keen to do lessons, but she never fully resists them, as she did her books at times. I do think underneath it all she really understands within herself how much we owe to Easyread for breaking the negative cycle of her non-reading times. Long may the progress continue!
Thank you
-Cluny and Orlanda.
Finn is reading much , much (!!!) better now…

Guy has thoroughly enjoyed the course…
Guy has thoroughly enjoyed the course and whilst he stumbles a little over longer words, his reading has improved tenfold. Spelling is still coming. Cannot thank you enough for all your help in getting our son to read and his reading age up – just in time for Senior School.

Charley is still enjoying the course…
Charley is still enjoying the course. She now has a reading age of 9 when recently tested at school (up from 8 when tested in December). We are all pleased with her progress.

BEFORE EASYREAD: ELI STRUGGLED TO READ…
BEFORE EASYREAD: ELI STRUGGLED TO READ ANYTHING BUT VERY SMALL WORDS. ALSO, HE DID NOT HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF WORDS TO SPELL WELL. HE DID NOT WANT TO TRY EITHER.
AFTER EASYREAD: ELI BEGAN TO READ AND FELT GOOD ABOUT TRYING TO READ. PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE MODERATELY AND STEADILY. THE PROGRAM WASN’T CHILDISH AND DEMEANING TO HIM AS OTHERS WE TRIED.
OUR CONCLUSION: WE TRIED ALOT OF PROGRAMS AND METHODS EVEN LOOKING INTO PRIVATE HELPS WHICH WERE REALLY EXPENSIVE. EASYREAD’S TELEPHONE COUNSEL WERE A GREAT HELP WHEN AT FIRST IT DID NOT SEEM IT WOULD BE.(PEACE OF MIND FOR PARENTS)
SINCERELY,
R
I feel very chuffed about being this far and I also think that it has worked…
I feel very chuffed about being this far and I also think that it has worked. What I do now to help me spell out is decoding it and sounding it out slowly. I know it has worked because I have moved up a group in my spelling class. The Easyread characters have helped me a lot especially the sounding ones like Ape and Oak because I have learnt how to spell words that have different vowel sounds. I feel a bit sad when Spellmagic comes to an end but I think it is worth all the lessons. I’m going to treat my spelling differently and use all the Spellmagic techniques that I have learnt. I will remember to slow down even though I get carried away with my stories a little bit!

I would like to thank you again…
I would like to thank you again for the Easyread course which has helped my son Joe so much.
Joe has had an ILP at school for the past two years. At parents evening last week, Joe’s class teacher said she could not believe the progress he has made since September.She attributed this to the work Joe has done at home with us using the easyread course. She also confirmed he no longer needs an ILP and has ‘caught up’ to be in the top half of the class.
I have, and would, recommend the course to any parent who wants to give their child a boost before they become disengaged and frustrated with education.
Kind regards,
Lisa
I'm feeling really optimistic about Easyread…
I’m feeling really optimistic about Easyread and so far Jo has been enthused by the lessons. She particularly liked the green queen and rabbit with a habit animations and ‘brown like the colour of poo’ made her laugh out loud. Top marks for engaging your audience!

I am noticing that Oscar is now doing less guessing…
I am noticing that Oscar is now doing less guessing and more decoding so that is a good sign! He is really enjoying the programme and I will be in contact this week to discuss things in more detail.
Many thanks, Julie
Zachary has been making progress and…
Zachary has been making progress and continues to grow in confidence and fluency within the easy read system. He is quite fast deciphering the words using the characters (better than me in fact!!) and this is most evident when reading the story. He still gets caught out at times guessing and if a more difficult word he varies between going “oh bother I got it wrong its…..” to having quite a melt down. This is generally on the games where he gets into conflict between speed and correctness. When confident he continuously says “this is too easy!”. I think he is affected by tiredness and by his own belief depending on what sort of day he has had.
Thankyou it was good for us to understand that we would see progress more in easyread than outside of this.
Both my Mum and I are doing the easy read system together with my son, and we are both very excited by his progress so far and the hope it provides. We have all seen the great both easy and achievable strategies for eye tracking results with great outcomes in a short space of time. impressive and logical!The service we have had has been super. What further impresses and both relieves and excites me is my childs motivation to do this program every night without any adult motivators. He doesnt want to miss one day, and the only time we have, has been due to one of us being too sick to accomplish this. The only ask for me would be a reminder email if I miss a phone call.
Many thanks! Andrea
Everything is going so well with Easy Read!
Everything is going so well with Easy Read! My son, Alexander is now getting perfect scores on some of the reading exercises & is proud. Easy Read is the first reading program he has stayed working with & not quit after a month. Your reading tools allowing him focus on one word at a time, do the eye tracking exercise, etc have
made the difference. Thank you.

All is going well…
All is going well.
We have no problems with Luke’s motivation – only having missed one day when he was out all day and back late.
We have already seen progress in his normal reading and his confidence – it has also been commented at school.
Luke tells us he likes reading!
