Parent Reviews of Easyread
Our most recent reviews:
Thank you for everything…
Thank you so much for everything Easyread has done for Jason, without it I fear to think what his reading would be like now. It really has been a great experience, one which Jason and his parents enjoyed.
Forever grateful for your support
I’d like to thank you so much for Easyread! My son has been using the system for nearly a year and has grown so very much, especially in the past 6 months. He is now on level with reading, fluency, and spelling thanks to your system. We will be forever grateful for your support. Thank you!
Parents evening last night…
Just to let you know, we had Amy’s parents evening last night & she’s doing well with her reading & is feeling a lot more confident about it all now.
A personalised approach to learning to read…
EasyRead has been good for James, he has come a long way since we first started and I think this is due to a combination of EasyRead and reading books aloud at home in the evening. I think the key message of not guessing words and the importance of decoding is a good aspect that is reinforced strongly in Easy Read. Thank you for your support throughout. I think this has been great and it has felt personalised. I would recommend Easy Read.
Excited to do Easyread each morning!
So far Jackson is loving Easyread.
He is very enthusiastic and excited to do it each morning – which is
very unusual for him and his school work 🙂 so we are very happy!!
He's begun spontaneously reading!
He has begun spontaneously reading LOTS outside of EasyRead, including signs when we’re in the car, things at church, things on tv, and of course, some of his books:-) Thank you!
Several years after Easyread…
I subscribed to this program several years ago when my daughter was in 1st grade. School was a struggle. There were tears every night over homework that was supposed to take 10 minute maximum, but always took hours to complete. I didn’t know if Easyread would work or not, but I was desperate.
I want to thank you so much for your program. It worked beyond our expectations. Lydia is now 14 years old and making straight A’s in an advanced middle school program. She is easily reading novels and textbooks. She recently sat down and read Slaughterhouse Five in a weekend. She read Joy Luck Club before that.
Thank you so much, and continue the good work!
He's now one of the better readers in the class!
Just to say that we are going to finish our subscription to easy read. it has been brilliant for sam and he has improved enormously but is now at a new school with much more homework and we simply dont have time. plus he really doesn’t need it anymore – his teacher has said he is one of the better readers in the class which is amazing. he is preferring to read his own book – especially horrid henry. thank you so much for the help and support – from a very bleak start we couldn’t be more delighted by the progress.
Reading at grade level and making A's in spelling!
Preston is a past student of Easyread. Thanks to Easyread, Preston is reading at grade level and is making As on his spelling tests. We couldn’t be more thankful.
I found Easyread very very clever
I found Easyread very very clever. I needed a little help from my mum and Dad and I feel so thrilled that I am now on level 4. It has helped my reading in school. My reading age is now 9y7m. I am going skiing soon so I hope that I have level 4 finished before I go.
Thank you.
Confidence, enjoyment and not a chore!
Many thanks for your program, it has been very good for Sophie. She has gained in skills and also confidence whilst completing the lessons – and they were not a chore to do. We both enjoyed them.
I'm on cloud 9!
Hi – I wanted to send a quick note. I noticed last week that during our nightly reading together, reading had suddenly become easier to her, and she is able to sound out long multi-syllable words. I asked her teacher (primary 5) if she was seeing progress during school also. The teacher responded that Anna’s confidence has taken a big leap in the positive direction, she is participating in group discussions more, reading alound with expression, self correcting during reading, and recognizing punctuation with reading aloud. The teacher gave her the weekly class prize, and said she really enjoyed Anna’s in-class reading exercise.
So, bottom line – we’ve turned a long, hard corner!!!! As a parent, I’m on cloud 9, but I can see Anna is on cloud 10!
Significant improvement overall
So far he is going well and I definitely believe his reading has significantly improved overall.
Helped enormously with reading and spelling
I would just like to say that the Easyread programme has helped Lauren enormously, both with reading and spelling (she is now regularly achieving 16 and 17 out of 20 in tests).
I read books all the time now!
Hi – this is Maia, the course was sometimes tricky, but I got the words after sounding them out. The trainer text was a little hard but I liked it because it helped me read better. My favorite game was Letter Quest and my favorite story was Grace’s House. I read books all the time now and I love reading.
A marked improvement already
We enrolled C in Easyread for the decoding. While we found that his ability to read (by developing an impressive sight word vocabulary) was coming along fine, his ability to sound out even a simple word had actually worsened over the past 6 months. In addition, his ability to spell was non-existent.
Although improvements may not be expected with the Easyread system for many months, we have noted a marked improvement already. Thanks for everything.
So fun doing Easyread
Hi David
It was so fun doing Easyread and looking forward to the next lesson.
Thanks!
I’m a better reader and speller!
Dear David,
This is to let you know that Easyread has helped me to become a better reader and speller. My reading has improved so much that I am almost up to grade level. I have enjoyed the lessons and games, especially letter quest. My sister, Jill is now using Easyread. I hope it helps her as much as it has helped me.
Sincerely,
Grant

Now above average in reading!
We just had a parent meeting last week and his teacher says he will finish year 2 above average in reading which is great news!
I know I’m getting better at reading
I’m so glad to be on level 4 because I’m know that I’m getting better at reading. Thank you.

Great moment as he finished the program…
We had a great moment this morning as C finished the program. I could tell that he was very proud and happy that we stuck with it. We have seen great improvement from the start, as you know it started a bit rough, with temper tandrums before we even started, but then ended with a “get it done” attitude.
At this point we will step back from EasyRead and focus on his eye tracking classes and special help he is getting from school. I feel that completing the program is a great milestone for him, and want him to feel the accomplish without continuing it at this time.
As for the course I feel that you have developed a wonderful, easy to follow, and achievable milestones to build confidence in the ability to read. The 10 minutes a day wasn’t too obtrusive and provided the mindset and accomplish of doing a lesson a day.
It is hard to believe we started this in July, 8 months ago. We are so proud of Chase, that he finished the course and that he is getting his super helicopter award. He is excited to receive the helicopter, so we will make sure that we explain the rules to him and supervise accordingly.
We will stay in touch and will definitely consider EasyRead as another resource for us as we continue down the path of reading proficiency.
Also, to you and David, thank you for your time and openness, answering our questions and providing the encouragement to continue with the program. It was very helpful to understand that certain reactions are normal, and that the course would navigate us with such great results.
Teacher is so proud of him!
At a recent parents evening his teacher commented on how he feels his reading has improved since he came back after Christmas (we started Easyread in January). I have not made him aware that we are doing Easyread at home and so was so proud of D as he has been working so hard on this. It has already made a significant difference in his reading and confidence with reading, and I look forward to the continuous progress in the coming weeks.
I cannot recommend Easyread enough. We are only 3 months into the course and it has already made a difference to his reading and also his confidence. The support from the Easyread team is outstanding. I look forward to seeing my son’s continued success throughout the rest of the course.
He read the word "equipment"!
Thank you so much. We are finding the lessons go very well! Kirrin read the first part of this message out loud to me – including the word equipment!
The stories are going very well.
At school, they are showing slow and steady progress – which is what I told them we should expect from Easy Read.
I have also referred you to a few of Kirrin’s friends who have been diagnosed as dyslexic. I certainly hope they explore what you have to offer.
