I love Easyread, its so much fun i would rather do this than go to school and when I’m older if I have children I want them to do this course.

My favourite part was the story and my favourite game was letter quest and the game that I didn’t like was MUSHROOM PICKER. And learning to read with Easyread was eezee peezee but at the start putting my letter together to make a word was hard but then I learnt more and enjoyed it lots.
lots of love

Thank you for sending me the torch prize. I’m getting on fine with Easyread and it’s helping me with my reading and writing.

Amazingly Morgan has come to the end of the Easyread programme! He was actually very upset last night when we told him there was no more.

Morgan has come a long way and he has definitely made improvements with his reading. Since my last conversation with David the tips he gave have made a bif difference.

Anyone who reads this and decides to go for it will find that the program is well structured and the help offered at every sticking point is always there. (And parental help is a must when frustration can often be a hindrance!) I’d like to thank the whole team for giving us the tools to improve Morgans reading ability.

The cost will always be an issue for some people and it would be very difficult for any one person to put a value on helping your child to be able to read at a competent level. Thank you again for your continued support.

Elizabeth’s reading has greatly improved.  Thanks so much for a great programme and for all of your input.

I am so happy that I have nearly finished Easyread. I have enjoyed it. I liked the story about Grace and the games. Thank you for helping me to learn to read.

I have been busy telling the school what we are doing with Easyread and showing them how it works. They were amazed at Chris’ reading on the story part of the lesson… to be honest they were speechless that he could decode long words.

Peri seems to be doing really well with his Easyread sessions. He is happily still very enthusiastic and motivated.

I just wanted to tell you what an amazing journey it has been doing the Easyread course, and to thank you.

Harvey completed the course on Friday (one day before his 9th birthday) and is so proud of himself. He now says ‘I can read’. This alone is cause for celebration, as he has never really felt proud of himself before.

Easyread has become a major part of our lives over these last few months. It has been an emotional journey, but we felt supported all the way through. We invested a lot of time in it, and Harvey has worked incredibly hard and it has all paid off. We really cannot thank you enough for all the support and expert help and time you have given us. It has been life-changing for Harvey, and for us all as a family.

As you will know, having a struggling reader in the family has an impact on everyone. Harvey is a different boy now- empowered and believing he can affect change through his own efforts. He is happier at home, standing taller, and at school he is accessing the curriculum and feeling more able to cope.

His teacher, who uses the Phonographix method, says his knowledge of the code of the English language and all its sounds is actually far better than that of his peers who have been reading for years.

Tonight Harvey read a phonetically decodable controlled vocabulary school reading book to me. He had begun reading this particular text to me just before he started Easyread, and we were using a colour overlay, and a piece of card with a hole cut out of it, to reveal one letter at a time, and he was really struggling to read this text. He got so frustrated that he could only read one page at a time (about 10 words). Tonight he read the whole book in less than five minutes, fluently and with expression, and comprehension and enjoyment of the story. The only words he found tricky were the vowel digraphs ‘learn’ and ‘screamed’, but he didn’t get frustrated.

He has gone from being a non-reader at the age of eight, to a reader at the age of 8 and 364 days!

Harvey is generally reluctant to put in effort, possibly partly due to feeling that his efforts were all in vain. Easyread was never a problem for him though. He never refused to do it, and we got into a wonderful habit of doing it. It became as much a part of our lives as mealtimes and bedtimes. We have become emotionally attached to it, and it has made us feel secure that Harvey was making progress, and was in safe hands.

Many, many, many thanks,

J

Ben’s teachers and tutor have all commented on how well he is doing and I am absolutely sure this is largely due to Easyread. Thank you so much!

Everything is going well with the course. We’ve actually had some positive feedback on Elina’s normal reading in a recent parent teacher meeting. She has also said that she is finding reading much easier now so being able to feel the impact  is helping to keep her motivated. Thanks for all the help so far.

I am definitely seeing a marked improvement in Jake’s reading levels. His teachers have also commented on his improved literacy levels so all in all, I am very happy with the Easyread course and pleased to be able to continue.

Callum is continuing to enjoy the Easyread program and enjoyed moving onto the new story, he chose Ungar – the temptation of dinosaurs was just too great! He got on great with it. We are continuing to see his reading improve and with it his confidence to read out loud.

-S

My favourite bit of Easyread was reading Ungar, Hoongo and Sneedos names. I like the games on Easyread especially pinball, spotter and the monkey word one. I am super happy to be at Gold level and the best characters are ants in pink pants, the chimp, the eggs with little legs and the fish. The queen being green was gross!

Love Samuel

I am proud of myself and it feels so good to be on a new level. I have enjoyed the whole of Easyread, the stories were the best bit.

Love Abigail

I go in to my children’s school each week to listen to readers, and I just want to get the struggling ones onto Easyread there and then. It’s so sad that not everyone will not take the chance to do the course. It would make everyone into a reader in a matter of months and then they could be free from the struggle!

-J

I have already seen an improvement in Peter’s attitude to reading – before the course he had reached a point where refusal to try was easier than reading anything, so we were at loggerheads much of the time. He is gaining confidence in himself and I find him reading things he would never have bothered with before – like the instructions for games, road names, magazine articles. I am hopeful!
-D (6 weeks into the course)

Thank you very much for your help and support, the teachers have seen a huge improvement not only in Gregory’s reading, but his confidence too!

Aran is finding Easyread very easy at the moment. She can read the pages of the story where the letters are not shown quicker than I can so lessons are very short. Her reading in other contexts is now at a very good level. She seems to have been moved into the top reading group at school and she no longer has any frustration in reading and can breakdown long new words well. So in summary all going very well at present!

I had some delighted parents at parents evening last week who are very pleased with the Easyread System and the progress their children have made this year.
