To start with I was not expecting the system you have of using pictures to decode words to work, but it worked brilliantly. George soon got the hang of it and it got him out of the habit of guessing the words. In the end he got really quick and I found it hard to keep up with him. George still has a lot of catching up to do and his school are helping him with that but I found Easyread a great support as I am not trained in teaching children to read.I was getting really frustrated at times because I could not understanding how George was actually trying to read, we take reading for granted and when I first found your website it was such a relief to find somebody who understood my child.
We found the mixture of games with stories a good way of keeping George interested and obviously he thought the codewords were brilliant.To be honest I can not think of any negatives right now, we are just so pleased to have finished and yes George is reading now, not voluntarily and he does still guess but he usually knows now if he is going wrong and he can work out almost any word he is shown.
Thank you so much for your support and i feel this has been a really worth while exercise for me and George, well worth the money.
