“Highly effective and deceptively simple, the Easyread System
succeeds in making learning to read fun.”

Easyread is a new Reading System
Specially designed to help
the Highly Visual Learner
Dear Teacher,
Easyread is a new literacy solution that uses synthetic phonics with easy-to-deliver classroom materials and integrated individual coaching for each child in the class, using the Internet.
Most of the children that struggle with reading tend to be visual learners. And Easyread plays right into their strengths. It also weans them from their habits of sight-memorisation and guessing.
You will be delighted with the contrast it makes with most Phonics systems, which are highly technical, full of "rules" and frankly rather dull for the children. Easyread is easy to deliver and fun for the children in a new and unique way.
Its all about "tools, not rules" as you will see below. And because the initial online exercises are formatted as games, the children are keen to log on and do "their" Easyread. Each child has an individual account on our portal. So they can each move at their own pace and keep their momentum up through the holidays (if they have home Internet access).
TRAINERTEXT
Key to our approach is TrainerText, which takes the fear of reading away. Our unique TrainerText system allows the child to decode the text unaided, because we incorporate phonic guidance directly over the text.
Here is an example of some TrainerText:
Do you see how the TrainerText can navigate through these tricky and highly inconsistent words. By the way, the image above the s in has and was is the Zuto from Pluto (the Zutos live on Pluto). The other characters are the goat in a boat, the ant in pink pants, the snake with a shake, the horse on the course, the whale with purple pigtails and the octopus who knocked a puss.
We also include prize codewords through the online materials (to win stickers and certificates that we supply) and an interactive group teaching process for the classroom materials. This integrates assessment into your teaching, without the child being aware.
CLASSROOM MATERIALS + ONLINE TUITION
In order to maximise a child's rate of progress, we combine some highly structured classroom presentation materials with a daily 5-10 minute lesson for each child on our website.
The classroom materials include integrated instructions. This means that any teacher can pick them up and in 5 minutes be ready to present an Easyread lesson. It also frees the teacher to concentrate on delivering the lesson rather than hours of training, preparation and worry about the structure of the resources.
Then each child does a personal lesson on the Internet, which runs at their pace. With the audio instructions and our TrainerText system they are able to do this without needing support.
The child has an individual account on the website, within the school account. So they can progress through the course at the right speed for them. Any lesson can be repeated as often as necessary in order to master it.
REMEDIAL OR FOUNDATION
Easyread can be used as a remedial solution for children aged 7 upwards (we have worked with many teenagers) and gets great results. We recommend running the trial using this age group because you get the most spectacular results. We often help a child to crack reading in just weeks, after years of struggle.
But it is also designed as a foundation course, to give you the quickest and best results possible with 4, 5 and 6 year-old children.

DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE ?!
I am sure that you will find what I have been suggesting hard to believe. And even when you look at our materials, you will have your doubts. And because Easyread is fairly new, you might not have heard much about it. All I can say is "Put a child in front of Easyread and then judge it". Results are the proof of the pudding.
FREE TRIAL
You can experience Easyread without any cost of commitment. It takes 5 minutes to create an account on our website and we will then send you a set of teaching materials as well. This will allow your to experience Easyread with a small group of children first, to compare the progress you see.
It is quite common for a 7-year-old, who has struggled for years, to crack it in just a few weeks.
As part of our trials process, you will receive
the initial two weeks of classroom materials (with integrated teacher instructions)
access to our online exercises for 5 children for 16 lessons (with full audio instructions)
coaching as necessary from us on implementation of the system
reward stickers and certificates for the children involved
There is no cost involved for you at all. All we need at the end of the trial is:
a report on the progress you have seen with the children
feedback on our current version of the classroom materials
return of the classroom materials if you choose not to continue with Easyread
==NB. Please do not take up the trial offer if you intend to just look at the materials. This is an offer for people who are prepared to give the system a fair run with some children who are already struggling with specific difficulty with reading (Easyread will also help children with general learning difficulties, but the rate of progress is inevitably slower).
AFTER THE TRIAL
The cost of Easyread is £2500 for access to the software £10 per child, for each child that does the course.
There are a total of 214 lessons in the course and if a child fails to become a strong and enthusiastic reader during that time we will refund the cost of his or her tuition in full. We expect to see substantial progress in just 3-6 weeks.

PS. Remember that at the end of the free trial, all you need to do is return our classroom materials and your feedback. There is no other commitment at all.
