We love the course!
We love the course! C is improving and he has more confidence with his reading! I love that you include games for him this keeps him interested while learning! His favorite game is letter quest! The prize words keep him excited about progressing as well!
Dear David, I read a whole chapter book last night.
Dear David,
I read a whole chapter book last night. It was Saffron the Yellow Fairy. I want to read all of the Rainbow Fairy Books, too.
Thank you for teaching me.
love,
Quinley
Wish I'd found you earlier!
Agent T is really enjoying the lessons. Her reading during the lessons is getting quicker and she is re-reading the story as she goes along. She loves the games, although she is not happy when it is a joke because she loves the games so much!! Her overall attitude to school is improving. She actually looks forward to literacy lessons! I just wish I had found Easyread earlier!
100% satisfied
As far as the program is going…..we love it. I’m pondering what we don’t like and can think of nothing negative! You all have been my saving grace in moving these girls forward!! Both G and N are rereading the lines until they are fluent. I also have them on their omega oils daily. I can see progress with both of them. They both are reading chapter books and they are eating them up and ready to go back to the library before I am. 🙂 No worries here, we are 100% satisfied with your program.
The progress is amazing
Sarah,
Thank you for the info. You all are so great at keeping us informed. N is doing so well. The progress I’ve seen is amazing. She is picking up chapter books and reading on a regular basis…all on her own.

This is a first
Hey team, My son J has been on Easyread for almost 4 months and is getting so confident and interested in words around him. Trust me, this is a first. Over the last two days he’s particularly been noticing words written on products around the house, on road signs outside and easily decoding and reading them without my input. My mummy heart has exploded with delight. He’s loving that words are becoming part of life now. I owe it all to you guys. Much more work to go but he is already going in leaps and bounds. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x
You might like to see this…
Hi Easyread Team,
I thought you might like to see this!
H has finally picked up a book of her own accord and is READING! Not only is she reading, but she’s understanding what she’s reading and enjoying it! And, as if this could get any better, this is the second book she’s read in three days! We were in town yesterday and bought her the sequel to the first book so she could keep going! Her older sister commented this morning how it looked so weird to see H completely absorbed in a book – it’s usually her who’s the bookworm – but how great it is!
I would never have thought this day would come! Thank you all so much! Your program, combined with the fact that she is obviously now ready to read, has made all the difference! Hopefully this is the beginning of a long and happy relationship with reading!
Kindest regards,
S
p.s. We had to go and buy four more books yesterday when we were near a book shop! We are really pleased for her that her interest in reading has been ignited.
The school is astounded
Just to add, we had a meeting with T’s school this morning. They wanted to let us know that his reading age has moved from 4.9 in September to 7.1. They are astounded and say that they have never experienced such a jump in so short a period of time. His spelling age is even better. They have recommended your programme to another child and intend to look into incorporating it into their special needs teaching. Thanks once again for all your help.
I feel confident!
Dear David,
Please can you tell me the codeword for my helicopter?
Did you know that I am really good at riddles?
what’s as big as an elephant but weighs nothing?
I feel confident about my reading now and can read more than before.
I’m like a baby that can walk now.
thank you

Ted’s reading has improved beyond recognition…
Thank you so much for all your help. Ted’s reading has improved beyond recognition and his confidence has improved too. He can read most words and has the confidence to sound out any that he doesn’t recognise. When he started he was hardly able to read anything and was never given a reading book to bring home from school. He’s now jumped to stage 7 and is enthusiastic about tackling his reading homework. For our part, the course gave us the feeling that we could play a part in helping him move forward with reading when everyone seemed to have written him off. I can’t express to you what a difference it’s made to his experience of schooling as a whole – he now skips in to school every morning and looks forward to learning.
Ted would like to say “Thank you for everything that you did. At the start of easy read I was really bad at reading and it’s really improved.”

She is now able to read level 1 story books….
She is now able to read level 1 story books outside of the system needing help with only a few words. She still has a long way to go, but has come quite far and is very pleased with herself.
Javon is progressing well.
Javon is progressing well. We still occasionally see guessing, but not nearly to the extent he was in the past. He has started to read books outside of the program so that is great

Never seen him so motivated!
Just to let you know that C got on really well with the nonsense words and the mushroom game in lesson 5. He took his time and got them all right. He found the 3 letter words easy but the 4 letter words needed a bit more deliberation. It’s great stuff! He dragged me out of bed at 7am today begging to do Easyread 🙂 I have never seen him so motivated!
Progress has been phenomenal
As an update on M’s progress, she was tested in mid January on words per minute, and they had increased 66% from her September test. Â Her next testing is mid May, and we all believe based on her progress that she will probably benchmark at grade level then. Â She was at 93% of grade level in mid January so we are very close! Â We are not yet at the point where she loves to read, but we can now do it with no arguments and ugly scenes, and I believe her progress has been phenomenal. Â I tell anyone who will listen about Easyread.
Only 7 lessons and he has changed so much!
I wanted to tell you that I know its only been 7 lessons but N has changed so much from the start of your program that we can hardly believe its the same boy. He reads so much better and he sounds out enormous words. The smaller words are so much easier for him and when asked about why he thinks that is he said “Easyread is helping me so much!”. We are absolutely amazed by this! He no longer gets frustrated when he reads. He just takes his time and enjoys what he is reading!
I just wanted to thank you! We see so much progress and we know this is only the early stage! Thank you so much! Truly! We have been blessed to have found this system.
I have had interviews with his teacher…
I have had interviews with his teacher since he has started back to school, and she says he is exactly where he should be, and is progressing well with the rest of the class. Reading has started to become enjoyable to him, which we are so pleased about.

Annabelle is making really nice progress…
Annabelle is making really nice progress, with her easy reader reading. She is now completing her lessons with minimal assistance from me and I can also see her confidence with her normal reading improving as well.
Thanks
Easyread for adults with brain injury…
Dear David
It was good to speak to you today.
We are so impressed with your reading system. Both of us were lecturers (my specialism being English) and I have also taught English as a second language to adults and also adult literacy. We have found that Easyread is really effective through a very enjoyable medium. The prizes are spot on, and really good quality too.
It has really helped P – his reading fluency is so much better too. Outside of the System, he is still overwhelmed with large amounts of text, but at least he can get the gist of the content. In time, this will improve, I am sure.
It will be interesting to see the results of the MRI scan, about which we will let you know.
Also, we would gladly provide a testimonial or help in any way we can, so that others in P’s situation can benefit (there are many adults who have suffered brain injury or post traumatic stress).
Please let us know if you develop an adult version, or if a maths program is ever devised (he has trouble with that too!
With deep appreciation and best wishes.
I highly recommend it.
Easyread is an absolutely delightful program to use. We are into our seventh week in the program, and I have no complaints or worries whatsoever. The program is engaging, enjoyable and I see tremendous success already. We have been through more than our share of dull programs that don’t work, and I can see a change in my son as he moves through Easyread. He is gaining confidence to the point that he is trying to decode any words he sees around him. He had given up trying to do that because he was unable to do so before. Being unable to read is such a hindrance in one’s life, and so devastating to one’s self-image. I am so grateful to have found Easyread in my online research, and I so appreciate the continuing contact and concern on the part of the Easyread team. I have only to send an email if I have a question, and in no time I receive a satisfying response. I feel that the Easyread team cares for my son personally, that they know his struggle. That sets this program apart. I highly recommend it.
You have really helped me…
Thank for helping me I have really enjoyed doing these lessons with me you really helped me in my English and I hope you are well. Thank you.

Very positive changes…
This last week I have really seen a very positive change in Henry’s approach and so has his dad and the rest of the family. Henry is absolutely delighted he’s getting to the computer 1st thing in the morning and logging on.
He is no longer reluctant to re read a sentence. Guessing hasn’t completely gone but sometimes he’s correcting himself before I do.
Jamies progress has really speeded up lately…
Jamies progress has really speeded up lately and if he tries he can decode the really long words in usually three tries at the most.
