We have found Easyread to be well planned and structured and in three bite sized pieces per lesson which has helped Elizabeth to concentrate better. The variety of fun games as well as reading text from a story have worked really well for her especially as she is usually easily distracted. Elizabeth is enjoying the lessons and I can already see progress and more of a desire to read which was not there before we started easyread. Thanks so much for your excellent course.

I cannot understand anyone not liking your wonderful system. Yes, its a lot of money to find when things are financially hard, but no, its not that expensive when you consider how “bloody marvellous” it is… i believe my daughters wouldn’t be reading anyway near as good as they are if it wasn’t for easyread…Chin up guys you’re doing a fab job out there for all the little and not so little ones out there….

I am Loveing doing Easyread I Think it is very fun indeed. The geyms I do ro very very fun and I wood Like to lirn some mor . I can’t wait to get anuther prize please riply soon

Love from Rose. (Age 7, on lesson 6 of the course).

Matthew is six weeks into the course right now and we have seen a huge difference already. We are very pleased. His confidence has increased and his willingness to attempt to decode words, in his surroundings and outside of his lessons, is very encouraging. He enjoys the games and the expectation with the story passage is reasonable so he does not get discouraged or overwhelmed. I can’t wait to see what the next six weeks bring! Thank you for your wonderful program.

Ella really enjoys Easyread because each lesson is so short it is not a chore and she really enjoys the games. She has picked up the characters very quickly (quicker than me!). It makes sense to her and her confidence with reading has already improved I think because she is able to read any word in Easyread using the characters, it all seems more possible for her…not so scary.
-Emma

Jenny’s reading has improved alot. There is an improvement in her spelling as well, though we are only just seeing this happen. I know it is early days and her enthusiasm and hard work will pay off.
Kind regards,
-Clare Abela

We are working hard and Joshua is progressing well. He is becoming more confident in decoding his words. It seems to be starting to translate this to his school book reading as well.
Many thanks,
-Cara

Matthew is doing fine with his easyread lessons and still does them without much prompting. I think he is doing really well and in his school report this year his reading has been brought up to what is expected for his age. I know school have put a lot of effort into his reading, but the de-coding method used in his easyread lessons are undoubtedly helping tremendously. He is finding the lessons quite easy now, though I have noticed you are introducing longer words and he is managing to de-code these quite quickly and I can see his confidence growing.

As for the next Prize of “fart machine”. I think it is a great idea and Matthew would never forgive me if I was to turn it down. You obviously know what 8 year old boys like and what it takes to motivate them. Keep up the good work.

I am pleased to say that we can see clear improvements with oscar’s reading. He is far more fluent and best of all is that he is asking to pick up a book and read to himself. This is something that he has never done before.
-Julie

We really coudn’t be happier.

12 months ago we hadn’t even heard of Easyread and Cal was ducking reading and really struggling.

You should know that last night he read the first two pages of Lord of the Rings out loud! That is how far he has come and he’s promised himself that he will read “To Kill a Mockingbird” as his first book.

I understand that he’s about half way through the course now but his writing has already improved beyond recognition – we plan to scan in his writing from 12 months ago together with something from now so you can see (and hopefully make use of).

His decoding is working well hence his success with Lord of the Rings and his spelling is coming on leaps and bounds and he now insists on trying to spell everything that he writes – for exaple putting an item on the shopping list.

The results haven’t just helped him read – your’s is the last part in his jigsaw – he has confdence from his work as a Referee and Police Cadet – but there was always something that hung like a shadow over him. That something has gone with the growth in his confidence in his ability to read.
THANK YOU
-Kevin

Scarlett seems to be doing well – is keen to do it every day and its become very much part of her daily activity. Her school report mentioned the work she is doing at home and said it really seems to be helping so even thought we are only halfway through, it seems to be having a positive effect. She is eager to improve.
All the best.

Ben is thoroughly enjoying Easyread. We rarely have to prompt him to do his lesson, in fact it is usually him prompting us!
Although you say that you would’nt normally see an improvement in normal reading at this stage, we have see an improvement. He is still guessing but when we indicate that he has read a word incorrectly he will immediately stop to decode the word. I have seen small signs of him starting to flick through the different sounds a letter or group of letters may make, eliminating the wrong ones until he finds the correct word. This has only happened a couple of times but is definitely new and I am sure a result of his Easyread learning.

Most importantly, Ben’s confidence with reading has improved significantly. He will now choose to read in situations where he would never have done so previously – silly things like the cereal box or posters we pass in the street – but still reading. Previously he would frequently nag us to read messages on his DS games. Now he reads them himself and often asks what words mean which is also new. He chooses to read books to us at bedtime rather than insisting we read to him.

So all in all, we are delighted with Easyread and so is Ben. The only person who isn’t is his sister who is a fantastic reader and feels a little left out! Thank you so much.
-Karen

Victoria loves this program and asks to do her Easyread every day. It is the first time that I see her excited to read. She is doing very well.
-Melissa

All going well. In fact Jemma’s spelling is starting to improve, she is sounding out the word for the first time.Very exciting and she is a much happier girl. Many thanks.

-Tricia

Ollie’s reading at school has come on in leaps and bounds…his confidence has soared and he asks to read his school books…amazing.

-Katherine

I am so impressed with the Easyread system! I noticed a massive improvement in Jaydon’s confidence and enjoyment of reading from very early on. Now that we are well into the system, I can defintely see an improvement in his reading on Easyread. He frequently tells me how easy the system is, and how clever he is because he is doing so well. It is never a struggle to get him to do Easyread (particularly level 2 – level 1 was quite a lot of information in a very short time and felt more difficult at the time.) I am amazed, especially when he is reading using only the Easyread characters, that he sounds out some words just as quickly as I can!

I know you said there might not be a significant improvement in his normal reading just yet, but I think there has been a noticeable improvement. From the start of the school year, we were told he needed a “hurry up” in his reading. Fast forward to now and I think he is in the top reading group, reading easily at the level expected for his age. I don’t care about what reading group he is in but it is just to illustrate that he has obviously shown an improvement in the classroom too. What I am most excited about is that he is confident to try reading all sorts of things now. He will see a sign as we are driving, sound it out and work out what it says. Same goes for his the books in his bedroom. He is also applying Easyread skills to the books he is bringing home. He is even helping to teach his younger brother how to sound out and blend sounds together. Fantastic!!

So all in all, we are happy. Keen to get his younger brother on it when he turns 5.

Happy for you to quote anything I’ve said.

Many thanks, Shanel

Millie is as keen as mustard at the moment, even getting up at 6.30am to do the reading before school! Millie does not normally do mornings! So far so good.
-Tracey

Thanks for the support and encouraging message to Mia. After talking to you this week I really feel like it’s worth all the effort. Mia had a really good school report this week too so she’s feeling really positive about her abilities.

After six weeks into the course I am beginning to see significant changes in Owen’s attitude and confidence towards reading text and single words. In general day to day activities Owen is attempting to decode words on signs and posters ect. on his own and getting them correct. Slowly but surely he is beginning to connect with words in his environment and contribute his understanding .
It took awhile for Owen to feel confident with the lessons , but with the constant praise and recognition from the Easyread team , every day he swings into action and he believes now that he can do it !
I am so proud of Owen for his persistence and resilience with his reading and after so much research into reading programmes
I am assured that Easyread is targeting the crucial issues facing children with learning difficulties and I know could not undertake this task on my own.
– Emma

Casey really enjoys this program and the prizes. It was a pleasure talking to Laura today. I am so pleased to have such guidance and help. Thank you.
-Kim

Before we started Easyread, every attempt to get Gregory to even look at a book, or read anything at all was a huge struggle. He had no confidence at all and hated it. Now it’s very different. From the very beginning he was very happy to settle down and do his 15 minutes each day. Although still not very fluent, (we’re only at lesson 30 however) he decodes each word very carefully and has gained huge confidence in being able to piece together the story. He loves the games and jokes and I think half our battle has been building his self-esteem in this area.

-Fiona

Thank you very much for the helicopter.  With my three boys it is a hit – trust me!!
We are very happy with JW’s reading.  It has just clicked al of a sudden and he is enjoying his reading. He always enjoyed books but was never confident to read it himself – this has changed and he is reading to his brothers !!
It did took some time, but are very pleased that we have stick to your help and advise.  Thank you
