Parent Reviews of Easyread
Our most recent reviews:
He's always happy to do it
So far we have found the program very good. R is always happy to do it – which is a lot more than he used to be! His reading the symbols very easily and they are helping him I believe. Eye tracking has helped, but we should be doing it more often I think – I think he has dropped back and hasn’t been doing it as much, so will get onto that.
Thank you!
Easyread review to date
We have enjoyed the Easyread program. The short lessons each day are achievable and enjoyable. To date Lily has been able to complete the requirements of the program with relative ease.
I asked Lily if she had any comments about the program, the only thing she said was “To ask David for more choices in the games” and that her favourite game was Letter Quest.
The codewords and prizes are great and Lily has really enjoyed receiving these as well as the certificate of achievement.
Decoding harder words!
Hello, I think Nicole is progressing nicely and while I was not expecting any carryover into her normal reading, I do actually see that she is able to decode harder words and for the first time, decoding was not an area that was marked as “needs improvement” on her report card!
He is so excited
Just a short note to let you know that Andrew received his first codeword gift – spy glasses. He is so excited and interested in becoming a “spy.” We wanted to say thank you very much for keeping him interested in reading through your wonderful program. He is asking me to do easy read. Loves playing Eggi as well. He is trying to beat the high score.
Again, thank you very much.
Program is truly life changing
My grandson, Grant, is almost finished with his Easyread lessons. He is on the last of the riddles. He has made tremendous reading progress, and as he enters 5th grade, he is almost to grade level. We hope to work hard this summer to get him there. I want to thank David and everyone at Easyread for all their help and support. Your program is truly life changing.
I have more confidence in my reading skills!
I thought it was fun and hard at first but then it got a lot easier. I’m a much better reader. I have more confidence in my reading skills! Thank you David and Sarah!
P.S. Sarah is really nice!
I like it very much
Dear David — Thank you for the program. I like it very much. My favorite part is the spell race and getting the presents. I think I have gotten much better with my reading and spelling.
Best program ever!
This has been the best program ever. I have seen her go from barely knowing the words to blazing through them. She is a great reader and the spelling is just as awesome. Sydnee is a great student and she put in the work to get wonderful results. We are all very very proud of her and how well she is reading and spelling now. This program has been life changing for her and for us. Thank you for a simple but effective approach. It will serve her well for the rest of her life.
Improved in all aspects of her thinking
Chloe has improved in all aspects of her thinking due to this program. She now thinks through things a lot more before acting resulting in a better experience for her at school and at home.
We thank you for helping her improve herself.
I am doing great reading now
I liked doing Easyread, especially the riddles at the end.

Enthusiasm for reading is returning
Jamison is responding very well to the program. His enthusiasm for reading is returning and while he hasn’t officially “taken off” he is now trying to read everywhere we go. Out of frustration, he had stopped trying but now his renewed confidence keeps him going even through the trouble spots.
He really enjoys the story and the games. I believe the eye tracking exercises have improved his ability to read the sentences.
Thanks!
Great improvement in independent reading
Thank you, I have noticed a great improvement in his reading independently, he really try to break down the word.
It’s Toby here…
Hi David,
it’s Toby here. I’m just writing to let you know that now I’m on level 4 I’m more confident with my reading. even though it’s still hard sometimes I’m not as nervous reading in class. and i also like reading books now. I’m reading the Sun Sword Trilogy now.
thanks,
Toby

I would recommend to other parents
First of I want to say Thank You for the great communication that you provide. Sarah, from Easyread was amazing. When I had a question it was answered quickly and completely.
My son has shown improvement in his reading with this program and I feel that he will keep improving as long as we continue to read everyday.
I one thing we would have liked is if the program was compatible with a Tablet or an Ipad,so we could take it with us where ever we went.
Overall it was a great program and I would recommend it to other parents who’s child is struggling with reading.
First day I truly noticed marked improvement
Just a quick note to tell you Finn really enjoy his lesson today, it went super quickly and he didn’t have any trouble with it at all. Today was the first day I truly felt I could say I have noticed a marked improvement in his reading. Playing Pinball, he decoded ‘was’, a word that has always confused him, and a few others that I know he might have guessed incorrectly before. He was sure of his reading too, rather than reading words with a question mark in his voice. I love it!
Many thanks for your excellent programme.
So excited I just had to write in!
I am so excited I just had to write a note to update you on Allison’s progress (she suggested I do that :)). I have been so worried about Allison being recommended for summer school because of her reading. On Friday we just received the results of her end of year (second grade) reading testing. She tested out exactly on grade level! At the beginning of this school year, her reading test scores showed results more towards the beginning of a first grade level. Even her mid-year testing results weren’t that great which is what prompted me to begin looking earnestly online for something to help her. I am so thankful that God led me to find Easyread! We will be doing it all summer and I’m excited for her to start third grade with that many more lessons under her belt! Thank you!
Such change in only 6 months!
Cameron continues with what I would think is tremendous progress. It’s as if with the help of Easyread as well as his Wilson Fundations curriculum we are doing through homeschool that he has learned, truly learned, and adopted, the use of phonemes and decoding as his actual reading process. He is no longer afraid of text, although sometimes the length of texts frighten him or cause him a bit of anxiety. Every time he does Letter Quest, (he does it on “easy” because of the monsters) he absolutely flies through it. I am so happy to see such change in six months’ time. I look back at his writing and spelling from the Fall, and he has completely improved in every area.
He wanted me to share with you that he made a Lego haunted house with monsters in it today. He asked me how you pronounce “monsters” over in England – I told him something like “muonstahs!” He laughed about that one.
Teacher was just amazed
We have been quite happy with the results of using Easyread. I talked with his teacher the other day and he is right on grade level with everyone else and she was just amazed that he improved over a grade level in such a short period of time. After asking David how he feels about his reading, he said he feels good and no longer feels like he is struggling.
I can't tell you how important Easyread has been
I cannot tell you how important this program has been for Sydnee. It truly made a difference in her spelling and her confidence. She now knows, with hard work, you can do anything. Continue to be blessed and help other children.
I can't overstate the benefit of Easyread
Thank you David — It has been a wonderful journey for Flora. I can’t overstate how we have all benefited from Easyread and how it has been such a positive experience.
Flora is reading happily, even joyfully and has made so much progress and retained and increased her confidence during a period when she could easily have lost it.
Thank you for all you have done.
I like that it is fun
Dear Sarah
I like that it is fun, and I like the little pictures that give me clues. It is easy.
From R
