Thanks for the Skype session last week.
Ruby has made great progress over the 88 lessons she has completed.
The program, and the team, have definitely fulfilled on the unconditional promise of clear reading progress with normal books by lesson 90.
Ruby is feeling much more confident in her ability to learn to read. She still believes she is behind the majority of her peers in reading (although I am not sure this is true any longer), but is able to see what progress she has made.
Her teachers have notice a dramatic improvement in Ruby reading, and are really please with what we have been doing with her.

And, since our Skype session, we have been focusing on reading each page after Ruby has decoded it. It has really helped having her hear you say she needs to do it, and she is no longer hearing me as asking her to do it just for the sake of it. She seems to better understand it helps her brain to learn each word.

Thank you again for the all the support with the program.
We really appreciate it.

During the last 48 lessons Braiden has been able to begin to decode words without the trainer text and is reading lots of written mediums. He is now enjoying reading words off street signs, and magazines, TV and has even started reading a simple chapter book of his own accord. We see that these are definite signs that his confidence is boosting and he is wanting to decode words by himself. Although he still feels he is struggling. HIs fluency is started to increase but he often needs to re-read phrase.
We have had a busy term of school which is now coming to the holidays so i think it is just a bit of fatigue he is struggling with.
I am very happy with his progress so we will continue with lessons regularly.

Connor and I just wanted to thank you for your help so far.

We had a teachers meeting last week and Connor’s teachers have noticed a huge improvement with his comprehension and sounding out to spell and decode words when reading orally.

His teachers have also noticed a huge improvement in his level of participation in group work and discussions.

Connor was retested for his level of literacy and he has jumped three levels since starting easy read. Connor’s teacher told Connor she has never seen such a significant improvement in such a short amount of time.

Connor has recently told me he would sit in class and pretend he was reading as he found it too difficult to read. He is now able to read his tasks and is able to attend to these independently.

Connors spelling has also improved so we are slowly able to understand what he is writing. He recently obtained a school award for spelling all his words correctly without any earlier practice.

We are really thankful for what your program has achieved so far.

For the past week or two Millie has started to pick up books and read them without being asked – both at home and at school. Yay! We are very happy she has experienced another jump in her skill and confidence.

Malachi actually wanting to do the programme and also hearing him work out the phonics. Today he wrote some sentences at school which he told me his teacher was very surprised by and came home and started to rewrite them to tell me his story. This does not happen so he is gaining confidence in himself to give it a go.

Bridie couldn’t spell or sound out words before starting this program. I have tried many other phonics programs and nothing seemed to help her. After 20 lessons I could see she was improving with her reading. We are nearly at lesson 70 and Bridie’s writing and reading has noticeably improved. She’s progressed to higher reading levels in the classroom (nearly four levels) and is also in a higher reading group. Her self esteem has improved as a result.

The support from the easy read team really helped Bridie to become enthused. The prizes were fantastic and very high quality.

I’m so pleased with her progress and as a parent it’s honestly a relief to my constant worries about her education. As a family we value good education and strong reading and writing skills. Easyread has helped us to achieve this for our outgoing, intelligent child who was struggling to progress, we can’t thankyou enough.
