It is going well for Alex. His reading has improved. This happened at an early stage with the course. He has read aloud a few times at school and reported back that it had gone well. This would have filled him with dread before doing easy read. He is more confident and finds the lessons quick to do. He has not shown any more progress since his initial surge but it was such a marked improvement with his reading, maybe it is more gradual now and therefore less obvious.
He is reading more at home which is lovely to see.

Z picked up a book on his own and read 4 stories in it! Before Easyread, I would have had to beg, borrow, and steal for him to even consider reading.

We are really enjoying Easyread. We have seen a huge improvement in Thomas’ reading on the program and also in his school reading books. Thomas said ‘I can read faster now.’ I am very grateful for all that you are doing for us not only just running the program but sending messages and prizes and for your support with the eye tracking. There was a point when we first started reading the three little pigs story that we struggled a bit. Maybe we were a little unsure of some of the character symbols. We were taking the full 20 mins sometimes longer. Once we got used to them and became familiar with all of the games lessons became much swifter. He just clicks away with confidence now.

Ava told us this morning she has already moved up to her next reading colour at school (after 10 Easyread lessons) and she wants to get to chapter books.

Thank goodness we have found you – you are the answer to our pleas! Here’s hoping chapter books are awaiting!

I have been so impressed with the whole process and support so far. From the initial telephone consultation where you flagged possible issues Laurie may be dealing with that neither the paediatricians or school had picked up on, but on further investigation seem to fit his behaviour, ie possible auditory processing disorder.
Getting Laurie to do his daily Easyread hasn’t always been easy. His confidence is so low with regard to reading, and his concentration and short term memory is very limited but he is slowly, with lots of encouragement, seeing that when he tries he can do it. He loves the games, particularly the Shooting Range, and the type of games are so suited to him, as well as the brilliant prizes and encouraging messages from Easyread. The difference with what he can read when he is doing his favourite games is interesting.
He likes that he can change the size of text/colour etc as this puts him in control which is important to him.
We use the eyetracking games often and he loves these. He has been able to show some friends what he does on the computer and they thought it was ‘epic’ which gave him a real boost.
He is still really struggling blending words and without help I’m not sure he would be able to read the words. But at this stage I am working on building his confidence, making it fun and keeping it consistent, so we stick to doing it almost every day.
Laurie is only six at the moment and has subtle but complex learning needs (as well as being incredibly stong willed as David witnessed on the skype call!), so we are not expecting miracles, but strongly believe this is the right path to be taking and the easiest and most fun way for him start reading. The joy for me was that it gave us a structure to the long summer holidays, knowing he was doing some reading everyday, instead of getting a book out and try reading from that which ends up being incredibly stressful for both him and me.
David was brilliant on the skype call and gave me some really simple and helpful tips which made a big difference. I have been so grateful for all the support.
Thank you for all the help. I recommend you to everyone!

Oscar THRILLED with the Spy Glasses ! Stood enthralled while I read the info that came with them ! Delighted in practising using them with friends and family this evening.

Oscar is so enormously keen to do your system. Every morning, he asks me if there is time for us to do the day’s lesson before school, and it’s one of the first things he asks to do when he comes out of school. He is so enthusiastic to do it, and finds the programme appealing, motivational, and sufficiently “easy” to maintain his confidence and enthusiasm.

Thank you !
