We are both so thankful for what you have done, and Grace has achieved so so much. It has been such a pleasure and such a great success seeing Grace thrive and be happy, – knowing she can now actually read without much difficulties. Grace loved your lessons and she is so sad to end them. – D
A huge, huge thank you!! Really.
Hi. The helicopter has arrived! Thank you! We will now be stopping with Easyread and you have already stopped our payments, thank you.
Easyread has been a lifesaver in terms of Scarlet’s difficulty with reading. She had absolutely no confidence academically and Easyread was a magical, fresh start for her. Her reading speed still needs to improve but she can now read which is fantastic! Now that Scarlet has been diagnosed as dyslexic she understands why she has found learning to read tricky and from day 1 of the course she was a much happier and hopeful little girl. The support from ER has been great and I cannot think of how our ER experience could have been improved. We are so grateful and we do recommend it to people we know with children who are struggling. I’m still trying to convince Scarlet’s school to use it!
A huge, huge thank you!! Really.

Today, Sophie picked up a book to read. Hooray! She persisted through for a solid 20 minutes. This was totally initiated by her. That’s progress.
And, making her practice her spelling words for school is so much easier now that I can use the EasyRead characters as reference. She can break down the sounds.
Feeling inspired today… hope this persists!

I was just reading Millie her Pokemon chapter book and…
Amelie said to me today with a smile on her face “Mum, I’m reading and…”
Amelie said to me today with a smile on her face “Mum, I’m reading and spelling words that I never could before. I wish I could do Easyread twice a day!”. It’s nice to see her making the connections so quickly. On Easyread she is seeing words like mermaid, reading the whole word as married and then decoding it as mermaid. The same with feather which she initially thought was father but after decoding the word realised it was feather. Looking forward to many more light bulb moments with her. Oh and she has loved the little prizes as she has always told me that she wants to be a secret agent.

OUTSTANDING!
OUTSTANDING! I am extremely happy with Abbie’s improvement, she is reading with confidence and sounding out difficult words without frustration. She voluntarily read six chapters of a book to herself last week! this has never happened, we are so proud.
She still sometimes mixes up little words when reading quickly but not to the extent that she used to.
we are very impressed.

We are delighted that Elizabeth has reached the end of the course and having thought about it we would like to stop it there please. Let me know if I need to do anything else to cancel the subscription.
I want to say a huge thank you to you and the team there for all your support over the last couple of years – Elizabeth is now reading confidently and enjoying reading which is a massive success as far as we are concerned. I won’t hesitate to recommend you to other parents who are struggling to help their children with reading difficulties as I know 100% that Elizabeth wouldn’t be where she is now without the help of the Easyread course!
Kind Regards

Mair continues to gain in confidence with her reading and a noticeable change is that she reads or attempts to read everything in sight, from advertising boards to street signs to little notes stuck to the computer. It’s delightful to watch her confidence and enthusiasm grow. So thank you again to your whole team

First I would like to thank you for helping our child with his reading difficulties and for all the support we got from you and all the easyreadstaff .I never thought I would find a solution for A’s reading difficulties, but our journey in easyread has been more then amazing . I have seen my son develop from guessing words to decoding them , and from crying when reading to enjoying reading . But we feel now its the time to stop. As now I feel like I can complete the journey with him. We would like to stop the lesson at the end of February , could you please inform us how to cancel the automatic credit card payments .
Message from A:

Thanks for your cooperation .

We have really enjoyed your site.
We have really enjoyed your site. Chelsea has improved and is spelling much better. She has passed the entry for the creative writing class that she has been working towards. She has started the course and is very busy. We are sad that we have to end the membership. We want to thank you for all the help. We will definitely recommend your site to other families.

With warm regards and the BIGGEST of thank yous
Hello David,
M was very excited today on Easyread, because she received a message to say that she’s reached the end of the programme and has made it to the big prize…….the helicopter! We listened to your message which is why I’m writing to say that we are very happy to take responsibility for the super exciting big prize!!
We are so proud of M’s hard work which has brought her to this point. Easyread has been amazing for her. Her confidence in her ability to decode words has increased enormously. When she started the programme she had plateaued in her reading progress and was unable to read independently. She’s always loved books but now instead of just looking at the pictures, we listen to her reading quietly to her self and enjoying more detailed story lines. She’s no longer daunted by lots of text on the page. Instead she happily shares the reading with me and her dad and reads her part of the story with enthusiasm and skillful decoding.
My husband and I are so grateful to you for all your help and support.
M now needs support with her math work. So it’s time for us to say a huge thank you to you but we wish to finished the programme. Reading will continue as a daily joy, but her math must take priority for a little while as she has dropped behind.
We would be very grateful if you could let us know how we go about concluding Easyread.
With warm regards and the BIGGEST of thank yous

From my heart, thank you so much.
Hello there,
I am writing today to let you know that we feel we have gotten the progress we have been looking for and feel that we are now on the right track and ready to take it on our own from here.
If you could please inform us as to when the last day of our lessons will be based on the billing cycle I would greatly appreciate it. As well I am hopeful that i can get a print out of Williams progress graphs.
Thank you so much for all you have done. You were the light that I was looking for. Perhaps one day we will return to get the help we need with his spelling. I know you will be the first place we come and we will always sing the praises of every single aspect of this program.
From my heart, thank you so much.

Elisabeth is definitely reading much better and I measure this in the following two ways:
Elisabeth is definitely reading much better and I measure this in the following two ways:
a) She is picking up books independently and interested in reading them. she is reading books to her siblings, she is reading cereal boxes, she is reading notes from her teachers and all independently without me asking her to read. That is great! I have also noticed that she is now reading fairly fluent in German (which is 100% decoding…she was never able to read it just using sight reading techniques!)
Before easy read, she would not pick up a book, resist when being asked to read a word on a street sign of cereal box, etc.
b)we filmed her reading at the beginning of the easy read process reading a random book – it was a nightmare to listen to. She was struggling with almost every word! She is now just having issues with few more uncommon words, but has no problem decoding them with a few tries.

Timothy is doing so well with his reading (and improving with spelling) and we no longer need our subscription. Could you please arrange for this to be cancelled before the next time we are billed?
We started with a little boy who loved stories but struggled with learning to read. Easyread made the difference because it made reading achievable and enjoyable – which enabled us to overcome some big barriers!
On formal testing recently, his reading age was close to two years above his chronological age. This means that reading can now be a joy for him and he is usually found with his head in a book. We honestly would not have been in this position without Easyread. So thank you!
We might be back again when my younger child is learning to read. I want her to have a positive start too.
Many thanks

I forgot to mention too that the prizes you send have been really fantastic in their quality and have had a really important motivating effect. This is such a unique part of your program and also made a big difference. 🙂

Jacques is near the end of the easyread course and has come from not reading at all to reading very well within a year.
He is now reading Dr Seuss books and Snoopy all alone.
Jacques globally liked the lessons a lot, we had periods where things were not so easy but the support from the team was tremendous.
The easyread team seem to anticipate the need for some extra attention and one on one lessons and these were a great motivator for Jacques.

He’s really responded to the lessons and we’re really pleased…
He’s really responded to the lessons and we’re really pleased with his reading. We definitely can see a significant improvement … he is enthusiastic about reading and does not have any qualms about reading any text. He can still struggle with new / complex words… but uses the decoding to good effect to break down and decipher the word.
Thanks for your help. I’ve recommended easyread to a number of people and his school. I’ve been very impressed with the systematic steady progress that he’s made over the last 5 months.

Thanks so much – we are seeing a massive improvement…
Thanks so much – we are seeing a massive improvement in Joshua’s normal reading now. He read one of his school books to me fluently and quickly.
I was amazed at the improvement as last time Joshua read a school book to me, it was very slow and we rarely finished the book.
School have noticed too and they have just moved Joshua up by 2 book levels (reading recovery).
Joshua is also enjoying reading now.
Thanks and we are excited at the improvement that we will see over the next few months.
Thank you – a very proud and happy Mum!!

Our Easyread experience.
Thank you very much, we have now received the helicopter for completing the course. I wish I had recorded my daughter’s reaction when she unwrapped it. She was dancing around the room saying “I did it, I did it!” We have both learned so much from this course. S has learned that she is capable, persistent and that it’s ok to find things difficult you just may need to try a new strategy. We knew very quickly by trying the free introductory lessons that this system was a good fit for us.
I have learned a lot from the training provided and also that a little patience and humour goes a long way ( thanks David). The Easyread course has exceeded my expectations it has helped me to understand the reasons for my daughter’s resistance to reading and provided us with the tools to overcome it.
My daughter is now a very proud, fluent reader. Thank you to the team for all your support, information and encouragement.

It’s hard for me to describe just how utterly…
It’s hard for me to describe just how utterly thrilled we are with Charley’s progress using the system. I can’t believe how far she has come in such a short space of time. Her confidence has grown so much that she’s happy to try to write things a little bit now and last week she picked up some easy books and started reading them to herself and us. This has given her even more confidence and she is desperate to get her hands on any easy book she can to read to herself.
She’s been kept in a phonics class with her peers now where they were planning to move her back into the reception class for phonics at the beginning of September and it’s all thanks to your amazing programme.
We are very careful to follow the golden rules each time and when she gets tired (which is quite a lot at the moment) we keep the lessons really short but we are still doing them every day where possible. She’s in a very good routine with them now and seems to really enjoy them.

Our son Thomas (age 8) was diagnosed with dyslexia earlier this year…
Our son Thomas (age 8) was diagnosed with dyslexia earlier this year when it was becoming apparent that he was struggling with reading and writing. I stumbled across easyread on the internet and so glad I did. The lessons are fun and due to their short length they are easy to fit in to busy lives. We have been delighted with the results. After 8 months Thomas is now almost fluent with his reading. He can read longer words with confidence and more importantly he now enjoys reading. His spelling has also improved. He has moved up reading groups in school and he is now reading books at age 8 reading level. Easyread has made what seemed to be a daunting and almost impossible task to be possible. We cannot believe the steady improvement over the year and this is shown in the reading statistics that are provided. I do not believe we would be at this stage without easyread. Thomas is now looking forward to reading more books of his choice. Thank you
Subscription
We will be ending our subscription at the end of this month as we have achieved more than we had anticipated and are now ready to move onto a larger selection of books.
Easyread is fantastic and I will recommend it to others.
Thank you for all your support,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas

She just brings me books that she is so proud she can…
Allison is getting so much more confident in her reading abilities. It used to be a battle every night where both of us in tears. Recently she has wanted to do additional reading on her own without us even asking her to. She just brings me books that she is so proud she can read on her own. The biggest change I see in her is that now when she is reading an unfamiliar word, instead of either flipping out or or just guessing randomly she stops and tries to sound it out or asks for help sounding it out. It has made life so much less stressful for both of us. I’m so glad we found it.

Overall I am so proud and pleased with her and the Easyread course…
Overall I am so proud and pleased with her and the Easyread course. Sadie is like a different child when it comes to reading and spelling. Her whole attitude and confidence has changed.
Just as a marker for progression I gave Sadie the spelling test we did at the very beginning..fig, muck etc..at that time she got just 1 spelling correct. Today she got 7 out of 10!
Thanks

I am so thrilled with Jonah’s progress!
I am so thrilled with Jonah’s progress! I don’t feel it’s necessary for him to continue. When we began his Easyread lessons, he was reading at “below grade level” and now he is reading at “above grade level.” I think that speaks volumes for the program.
We are continuing to ensure Jonah reads every day for 7-10 minutes just to make sure he doesn’t revert back to any old habits and also continues to improve his skills. We’ve also had him begin writing everyday. He is given a writing prompt, and he writes about it. His writing abilities have already improved dramatically. I have no doubt Easyread had a huge influence on what he now hears as distinct sounds and the order the sounds come in when he is writing/spelling.
One of the big reasons we stuck with the program was the constant support and feedback we received along the way.
If we can be of any further assistance, please reach out to us. We’re happy to talk more as needed.

Willow is doing extremely well…
Willow is doing extremely well and the improvement has been excellent. We are now going to do a more focused one on one tutoring to fix willows specific gaps.
She also received one of the top marks in the state catholic school comprehension assesment. We believe this remarkable result is due to your program.
Willow and i would like to thankyou for your help.
