I have achieved my reading 100%, clearly all because of you. I am now fantastic at this talent. I am not struggling anymore. I have enjoyed following your program. Easyread has been a really good experience for me and other people. Thank you.

– From Peter and Peter’s mum.

First, thank you for creating the course. We have enjoyed it and the slow drip feed approach meant that we never felt it was too much and was becoming a chore. I think that Tom’s spelling has improved. His mother, who is able to be more objective, agrees with this.

As some general feedback…

I found your website informative and easy to navigate. The communication with you is very easy. The content of the stories was also very good and I enjoyed waiting for the next installment. Motivation also very good – the prizes were always well received.

Ella is coming to the end of Easyread and I just wanted to give you some feedback on her progress – and to say thank you!

I started Ella on Easyread because I was really despairing about her reading. She was assessed at the end of Yr 1 to have a reading age of 4 years and 8 months – significantly behind! She started yr 2 on stage 2 (oxford reading tree) books – which are intended for reception children.

She started Easyread at the start of year 2 and now at the end of yr 2 she is a fabulous reader and is on stage 10 of oxford reading tree. A massive improvement – and it all seemed to happen so easily. Easyread really did take all the struggling out of reading.

It has been so fantastic that I’ve recommended it to some other parents and with the SENCO at Ella’s school.

Many thanks again.

Tonight Isabelle insisted that she did Easyread ON HER OWN – I just hovered in the kitchen pretending to read a leaflet. I think she did really well and it was lovely to see her wanting to do things independently!

All in all, she’s steadily gaining confidence and we’re all really amazed at how quickly it’s all clicking and coming together. She read half a page of the Magic Faraway Tree to me the other evening and did brilliantly!!

I’ve also noticed a lot of reading whilst we’re sat in traffic in the morning. She read the adverts on the back of the bus yesterday, and tonight she sounded out and read the advert for a building firm on the back of a van. She read “Banbury Road”, and other road names too. It’s this kind of reading I’m really beginning to notice (the reading when she’s not asked to read!) – she is obviously seeing words now and just realising that she can read them! It’s great!!!!

Easyread has taught me to read properly. I am very pleased with myself to be at level 4.
Thank you!
Love from Ella (age seven)

I have to say – we love the Easyread scheme and so do the children, particularly Hannah!

I just wanted to let you know that Anna absolutely loves the writing board that you sent her and tracing out the letters of words. It has inspired her to carry on with Easyread.
The graphic/background pictures on the game are really good too. Well done on a great product, I shall certainly recommend it to my friends.

We have been all over the country but I feel that Cal has now made a choice of uni course that will suit him next year – he is aiming to do Computer and Digital Forensics at Teesside.

There is no doubting that he wouldn’t be where he is if it hadn’t been for the impact of Easyread. Our status as “fans” is well known to you. Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you so much for the help that you have given Elizabeth over the last year, it is so fantastic that she can now read.

Molly has really settled into a morning routine of doing her Easyread lesson. Her confidence is growing all the time and her decoding has improved greatly. Overall the guessing has dramatically decreased. She is asking less and less for help with tricky words.

Molly loves the games – she is still tending to stick to the easy level but I think that is a confidence issue more than anything else and I am hoping that as she continues her confidence will grow as will her self-belief.

In this past week I have noticed a change in her approach to school books, which she is now reading with much more clarity, enthusiasm and confidence. Everytime she brought a new book home she has read the entire book to me. Molly has never been keen to read a school book from start to finish in one go before so I am really pleased.
She was thrilled this morning to learn that same has gained a new prize.

Easyread has helped me learn how to decode which has helped my reading and spelling. I liked the Letterquest game the best, and also enjoyed Pinball and Fighter Mission.

I like the Easyread characters (especially the farting egg) and have managed to do it most days for nearly a year.

We are thrilled with the progress that Joseph has made in just 6 weeks. We are not expecting him to read Thackeray yet, but just seeing the change in his confidence, and his belief that he is actually learning to read is worth a million dollars.

He now goes around trying to read anything he can when we are out and about. Before starting Easyread his confidence had sunk to his boots, and he was resisting sitting with even the easiest trainer book and could become very agitated. I think this was impacting on his entire learning experience at school.

We now see him interested in the world around him again. Our friends and family have all noted that Joseph seems to be his old self again, and seems to be a much happier child.

Before half term he actually brought home 5 trainer books, because he “wanted to”. This was a first for us, as he could not be motivated even to look at the books on offer before. Today, at school, it was noted that he had actually read 2 trainer books. We are delighted

Joseph wants to do his Easyread lesson almost as soon as he gets home from school, and, so far, is still totally engaged in the lessons. It is perfect for his current psychology: 7 year old boy with a fascination for spies, and a dap-hand at computer games. I think David Morgan’s manner in the lessons is spot on: warm, encouraging and humorous.

We all love the Easyread characters, which are instantly memorable, and we all have our favourites – the “vulture into culture” is genius! The “nun with a bun” is pure poetry – we have lots of friends who are nuns, and so it’s hilarious for Joseph. So Easyread has managed to engage both mum, dad, and little sister as well as Joseph.

As the lessons progress, it’s easy to see how they are designed to work, and this has given us the confidence in the system to expect that it will continue to lead our son in the method that he needs.

The prizes are an amazingly effective motivator. Joseph looks forward to receiving his “letter from Oxford” more than anything!

So, our feedback at this stage is so far, so very good. I don’t have anything negative to say. Thanks for everything!

Adam is following the programme well and his reading is certainly picking up, particularly if we compare him to this time last year. He is still a very reluctant reader and will battle against it, but this is also a lot less than a year ago.

He is much more inclined to read road signs and the sides of lorries and vans without any prompting, which we continue to encourage. The biggest change is that we now understand Adam’s difficulties and struggles so are better able to help, empathise and encourage him when he is feeling down about his school work.
