As a parent working through the 20/21 school year in distance learning with 3 elementary kids, there were at least some positive upsides. For example, my daughter Laine’s (2nd grade, 8 years old at start) reading ability (when she is such a bright, exuberant, creative, SMART kid) kept me up at night. Something was not connecting. No amount of pressure or more reading was making up for the missing pieces in her ability to read. I was literally awake in the middle of the night, by chance watching Dr. Morgan’s Facebook ad and knew he was talking about my daughter. I started crying and felt I had been given such a gift. By morning in February 2021 she was signed up and on her way to decoding and cracking her reading struggles. It’s not been easy all the time, we have struggled through some lessons with tears and frustration. BUT today, Laine passed her 223 lesson, earned her helicopter (the code words/spy prizes have been a great motivator), and has gone from a 1.5 grade reading level to reading at a 5th grade level with limited assistance in only 10 months. I am so grateful for the Easyread program. Their attention to detail, one on one phone calls and Zoom meet ups, quick response time to questions, and consideration for my kid’s development has made us feel cared for each step of the way. If you have looked into the Easyread program and David’s description of your child’s reading journey hits home, run don’t walk to sign up. It has been one of our favorite blessings of this crazy year and I shout it’s praises to anyone who has a struggling reader.

I was really skeptical about this for my 8 year old, how can 15 minutes a day and video, and games work? He struggled with blending and decoding. He know can use the trainer texts faster then I can figure out the word myself to see if he is correct. The system moves as he needs and the personal support is amazing.

What a fantastic programme! Our 8 yr old made such rapid progress I began to doubt myself whether she had had issues in the first place! When we looked at the video recording made at the beginning of the programme, her progress was remarkable within just a few weeks. She asks to do the session every day and complains if I don't have time - a massive difference from a child who used to invent the most incredible excuses to avoid reading before this. She now reads books in her own time and is even starting to get her head around spelling - all in less than 2 months. The personalised support from the Easyread facilitators is much better than I expected from an online course and the prizes are great too! Thank you Easyread!

Our daughter has loved the Easyread program. She thinks she is just playing fun games on the computer but she's actually improving her reading and spelling skills. Her Spelling grades have improved from 50% to 90% in only a few months. Thank you Easyread for an amazing program! I would highly recommend your program for any children struggling to read and spell.

Wow, this program works! My 9-year old became a more fluent reader within weeks of starting, and she really enjoyed doing the assignments (structured like fun games) every day! She never complained about it once, even 2 months in she was excited to decode the words and play the games in Easyread. And she has so much more confidence now. Thank you Easyread!

This is a game changer for my 6 year old. 2 school years of struggle & upset, & now in his 3rd year of schooling, Year 2 in class, he is catching up wuth his peers... On just 3 months. He's finally enjoying stories he reads & he can read maths problems to solve them. For us this is the BEST program ever. I am a dyslexic of 35 years & I wish this had been around for me at 6 years old ❤️❤️. Thank you Easyread. Your science is brilliant for us 🙏💕

We were looking for a way to get my son excited about reading. Easyread and their "video" games got him excited to use the system. He logged on every morning BEFORE school without any prompting. We saw great progress and he was "a reader" within a month of starting. It was just the extra bit of confidence he needed to turn the corner. Thank you!

I would absolutely recommend this program to any parent that has a struggling reader. My son has been on this program for a little over 2 months and not only has there been a significant improvement, he looks forward to the each and every lesson. He now attempts words he would never have tried to read 3 months ago. We no longer have a "FRUSTRATED" Child OR "FRUSTRATED PARENTS" when reading our daily homework. I actually don't understand why this isn't apart of every schools curriculum. My son is 7 years old and has learnt more reading skills in the last 2 months, then I would say he's learnt from the day he started school 2 years ago. I'd be more then happy to chat with anyone that has any questions or doubts when looking into this for themselves. This program has been a life changer! 👍👍👍👍

My 7 year old was struggling with simple short words. She read her first book to me tonight with very little help. Less than a month ago she couldn't even read the word "the". I'm floored at how fast this helped. Best of all my daughter loves it and looks forward to doing it every day. Highly recommend.

Easyread was an excellent resource and tool that engaged my son from the very first day. The lessons were fun, interactive and the right length of time that my son never felt that they were a chore. The funny characters made all the exercises enjoyable. I would highly recommend Easyread to parents.
