The short answer is good news. Daniel is also participating in a Australian Reading program called MultiLit and he undergoes standardised testing every 2-3 months and Daniel is now at or above his age level for reading accuracy and fluency. From memory the Easy Reach program goes for another 5 months (we started in March 2013). I thought Id probably continue easy read in the school holidays.
I think Easy Read really did help Daniel last year and even now when we read books we still use the names of some of the characters “egg with little legs”. So I am very thankful because last year was a difficult year as I was getting no help from the school and Easy Read did help Daniel get more confidence with his reading. Plus he liked the games.
