My son David was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 6yrs when he was still strongly struggling with the alphabet…..all I can say is that today at 8years 8 months he has a reading level, according to BAS tests recently carried out 2 weeks ago by my educational psychologist, of an 8year 5 month old boy in English…just 3 months behind what he is expected to be….
It is true that in our native tongue Maltese his level needs to improve further since he is 12 months behind, but this is because we are English speaking at home and we give much more importance to him grasping one language solidly….and for this as parents we have no regrets….
So how did this happen and how did my son David improve so much over 3 years….definitely thanks to a lot of support at his school with his teachers and at home by myself his mum….However, definitely I must give MOST CREDIT to the easy read system…as a mum of 3 boys, David is my eldest and I knew absolutely nothing about dyslexia being a professional coming from the medical field…However my thirst to learn further about the subject and help my son in the best way possible, led me to search knowledge everywhere and through Google, 3 years ago I came across the Oxford Learning Solutions….I never had heard of them before and I seem to be one of the earliest customers to have given them faith and credit but believe me, I AM NOT SORRY FOR ONE SECOND….money spent with them is blessed by the cent…the fee I whole heartely paid because next to other fees for special books and similar services it cost nothing…besides, very importantly, included in the annual subscription is an excellent daily feedback service….extremely efficient in answering any difficulties as you go along…David the author, to my knowledge is dyslexic himself and through my personal experience now, the people who understand dyslexia most are the dyslexics themselves…my son’s best teachers have always been dyslexic themselves and they were the ones to help him most….
Like surely David the author has, my son has exceptionally high IQ so this helps them go around their problem easily, especially if they are given the right help and this is what Easy Read system gave him….that help he needed to succeed…..this led him to the achievement of such super results today…
My son is an A grade student in most subjects like Maths, just scored 94 in his exams, and he is well getting there in other subjects where it was the literacy which was keeping him back…These people are the ones who succeed most in life, possibly more than others without the problem…You have to live and meet such people to understand me…
The subscription is also renenwed according to demand, slowed down according to need and one is allowed to repeat and repeat lessons until they are surer of moving on…something very pro this program…
Besides kids look forward to their lesson on a daily basis because it is followed by a game, which changes every day…a variety of games cleverly testing them but teaching them in the process….and what better way to learn than through PLAY!!!!
Easy read gives these kids confidence, confidence to move on, to feel successful and to feel achievers…one piece of advice I add at this point is to make sure your child grasps the alphabet pictures well before proceeding to higher levels, as then it becomes so easy to build on that…..Most definitely this was a trick that David the author shared with me…
Easy read is a highly recommendable program which I cant but re-iterate how it can ABSOLUTELY change one’s life from a frightened DYSLEXIC to a sure SUCCESS in one’s life…
Please dont think twice…honestly and truely, just make the soundest decision you could ever do for your child today and enroll on the program….your kids will love it and will thank you Soooooo much when they grow up!!!
Thank you David for the initiative taken to produce such a wonderful system and help our kids become great achievers in their life…..
