Parent Reviews of Easyread
Our most recent reviews:
Highly recommended for homeschool
We have enjoyed the program and highly recommend it to our family and homeschool community. Coleman gives the program two thumbs up for being fun and enjoyed all of the book choices in the library. As the parent, I am pleased that we got more from the program than we ever hoped. Best wishes to the whole Easyread team!
Your program has been a godsend
This is Jennie. Just want to say how much we have enjoyed the Easyread program this year. It has been a tough year for Kadyn and I but your program has been a Godesend. I am so proud of Kadyn. She has worked so hard and she is reading so well now!!! I highly recommend your program to anyone!!!
Outstanding improvements in spelling
We think Phoebe has made excellent progress and coinciding with our summer holidays we are going to conclude her lessons this week.
We’ve been really impressed with the progress made, Phoebe has made so much progress that she seems to now be finding the lessons relatively easy now. There have been outstanding improvements in her spelling, Phoebe’s mum again saw the step change when reviewing her schoolwork at a recent school open day.
Complete faith in your product
It is much more fun than I was expecting and Harriet loves it much more than I could have hoped. I have complete confidence that you will be able to deliver on your promise provided we put the work in on this end too. The fact that you were able to describe the difficulties that we were experiencing so clearly and accurately when I have not come across that before, and the fact that you put up the links to alternative services gave me the confidence that you had complete faith in your product.

Sophie is often reading happily by herself, enjoying humour books and she understands the need to slow down and decode longer unfamiliar words.

We love this program
We love this program and have started to see progress with Kaden’s reading and sounding out words when we read together as a family.
It is with great success that would like to cancel…
It is with great success that would like to cancel our subscription to Easyread.
We feel that David’s reading, and to some degree spelling, has progressed beyond our expectations. He is now choosing and reading his own books independently, and seems to be relishing in new found confidence in his own abilities. He has found Easyread enjoyable and fun, and I have loved being a partner in his learning. Indeed Easyread has been just as beneficial to me in learning about his specific learning needs, encouraging him, and realising that his future CAN be bright.
So thank you once again for all you have done for David …. and me.

It has been interesting to watch the progress…
It has been interesting to watch the progress over the first part of the course. William found the first stage initially difficult to decode but has made steady progress. His normal reading maintained the same level. When we hit around lesson 50, what I observed was that William’s normal reading speed and comprehension reduced and this was borne out by his school comprehension test, significantly worse that he scored in the term before. However, as we now move towards lesson 90, we are seeing the speed and fluency of his reading improving again. He rereads the phases very quickly without making a mistake. Although the decoding text is still slow. The spelling is improving and William is more confident in trying to spell a word he doesn’t know. He wouldn’t have even tried to spell the word a few months ago. The Easyread is definitely working.
So you asked; Have you delivered on your promise? My answer is unequivocally YES!
Thank you so very much.
Kind regards

JT’s last parent teacher conference at school was so positive, he has passed into “average” scores on the standardized testing they do and the teacher was really impressed with his progress! I don’t think he had one single AhHA moment but we suddenly have looked back over the summer and thought…”He is reading without struggle…when did that happen” He originally said he wanted to finish easy read for the sake of finishing but I really feel he has progressed beyond the need for it. We would like to go ahead and stop our membership now. I plan to use easy read (and much earlier) for my 3yr old maybe next year or when he starts kindergarten. I really credit your program for finally making things click for JT!! Is there any way to get a refund for July’s payment since we haven’t been using the program? Please let me know if I should make the request some other way. I really do appreciate all your help and your wonderful program and customer service. I am sad to end our relationship even though it means JT doesn’t need it anymore!!!

The program so far is fantastic. Rusty is asking to do the program daily which is a huge change to me hassling him to do anything. He is finding more confidence in his own abilities and even picked up a chapter book the other day after his lesson and decided that he would give it a go, and even thought he still needed help from me his confidence and ability are both growing!
Regarding the programs specifically, he loves it, the challenges and games are spot on for his age and interests and he is even getting so much better at the Place Name Game! The blending game works really well and he even said to me ‘if I break words down like that it makes them really easy to spell!’ I guess you can lead a horse to water…!
Thank you very much and we look forward to the next few months!

Lewis has definitely made marked improvement reading normal books. We are very pleased and excited at his progress. He is starting to be able to read more quickly too.I have seen him stop and decode many words that just a few months ago he would simply have guessed at.
Lewis is persisting well with the rereads when required. I read the portion of the email concerning this to him to help reinforce the message.
Lewis is really enjoying reading the Greek mythologies.
Thank you for all your help and support. I am having an interview with Lewis’ teacher on Monday,it will be interesting to see if she comments on any improvements.
Thanks again,

Joshua is flourishing with his reading now, no longer the bottom of the class and amazing his teacher with his progress through the levels.
As such I think its time we said goodbye, but with a deep felt thanks.
Kind Regards

Ashley is loving the Easyread System so far! I can’t tell you how excited I am about beginning this new way of learning with her. I am employed at my children’s school as an Educational Assistant and I often work with Children who are struggling with their reading and writing. I feel so many of them could benefit from Easyread System, too. In fact, I have passed on your website to a couple of my friends who are planning to enrol their children. Thank you for giving me hope!

So far we are pleased with the program. There have been a few hiccups but we quickly were back on track. With regards to the reading aspect I find that Xander is doing really well. I can see an improvement in his reading. We also subscribe to Raz kids which is another reading program with just books. Since starting easy read we haven’t been doing Raz kids so I thought for fun we would read one of the books from an earlier level and he read it very fluently. After a 6-7 pages with 2-3 sentences on each page though he started to lose focus. Just to have him read the previous pages fluently was amazing.
I see progress as well with his eye tracking. We still do the exercises and he plays the additional games as well; they seem to help.
There seem to be days where he doesn’t want to do easy read but I just tell him its not for long and he is still doing great and that usually gets him back on track. We have found that there are some letter sounds that aren’t the way we would say but forget to write them down. So we will in the future and will pass that info on to you. Overall, this is by far the best program we have worked with and it is helping Xander immensely.
Thank you for that!

(LESSON 45)
Hello David, Luca’s reading is better each day…
Hello David,
Luca’s reading is better each day. He loves Gloop, he started to spell better as well. He loves writing us messages on Skype. He also like typing. He still has work to do to be more fluent, but I love how he breaks everything on sounds and then thinks and formulates the word. We started to re-read the phrases, so he could train the brain better, also to memorize the spelling. We will continue using Easyread as we saw the progress that it was presented in the training material. I am really happy that I found your app.
Regards,
A

I’m pleased with the progress so far. Now when she guesses a word, I can give her the first sound and that is usually enough to get her back on track. Before starting this program, that wasn’t happening. You guys are very helpful and I appreciate the support I’m getting.
Thanks.
Susan
I cannot adequately express how grateful I have been…
I cannot adequately express how grateful I have been for the honest and timely feedback that I have received. That has made me feel that Rachel was not just a number, but a student who was cared about. We have only done the 10 day trial and yet we have been treated fabulously. I have been grateful for and impressed by the questions I have been asked to answer. Sometimes as a parent I do not know exactly what is wrong or cannot adequately describe what I see. The questions have been an excellent way to help me to be clear and accurate as I describe what has been and is currently going on with Rachel. I know of no other program with that degree of help and I will say that the parental help is a main reason why I will be telling others about Easyread!
Shauna
…brilliant!
The practice exercises are brilliant. They force him to engage with the sounds and letters in ways that he avoided when the activities were paper-and-pencil.
Miles ahead of where she was…
Thanks for everything! She is miles ahead of where she was when she started, we could not have gotten her here alone!
From crying to laughter!
Ella’s confidence has just taken off. She is starting to pick up books ( comics or jokes) way more often. We are so proud of her and it’s been a relief to go from frustration, fights and crying to cheering, high fives and laughter during this process. She really enjoys the lessons and gets very excited when she reaches the “gold standard”
Already seeing marked progress at Lesson 28
I’m already seeing marked progress in his reading outside of the lesson and MUCH less guessing. He was very resistant to reading before, but he has been enthusiastic and more willing to read other books as well.
A tremendous help
Your program has been a tremendous help and his reading has improved by leaps and bounds. Thank you for everything!
I feel very supported in helping Fenton
I’m so glad to have found a different system to help Fenton read, different from what he is doing at school. I feel that we are really doing our best to help him. I enjoy the mixture of reading and games it means Fenton is always happy to log on. I also feel very supported with the system, I know that if I had any concerns you would be able to offer me helpful advise.
I really like the training section, although i’ve not got through it all yet (the explanation of why some children struggle with reading) It helps me to deal with it when I have some idea of why Fen finds somethings hard.
Luna is thriving!
Thank you so much for providing this program for us! We are very happy with our experience! It was definitely a positive one! Luna is thriving as a result.
At this moment, we will like to discontinue our subscription. We feel Luna got the most out of it and she feels very accomplished with having finished the program. It has given her the confidence she lacked to move on to other things. Thank you again for everything!
