What Easyread Can Do
For Your Child

It is important to be clear on what our aim is:

"Easyread aims to give your child the
ability to decode text and read independently
with confidence "

We call it "reading takeoff". It is that magical moment when children start to find reading fairly easy and it becomes fun.

At that stage they are able to go and read whatever grabs their interest. So they then have the choice to go on down the track to becoming great readers, instead of being lost in the woods.

By the end of Easyread your child will have read 25,000 words. Our later lessons have long and quite complex text. Of course, a keen reader will get through an equivalent novel in a day. That is what takes you from being a confident reader to an excellent reader.

Easyread is the crucial staging post towards that.

Easyread Results

We expect to see a new attitude from day 1 (often to the amazement of some parents!).

Our second assessment is after 2 weeks and we expect substantial progress by then.

After 5 months 75% of the children doing Easyread are in the middle or top of their class and all bar 1-2% of the rest are catching up well.

By the end of the course we expect each child to be able to read what they want to read.

Easyread is formatted primarily for children 6-9 years old, who have reached a reading plateau. They are sometimes years behind their contemporaries. We can usually get them reading confidently in around 6-12 months. Sometimes it can just take a few weeks.

Younger children have also done well if they go steadily. They often repeat some of the earlier lessons. But it is good to get them heading in the right direction.

And we have had teenagers and adults successfully learn to read on the system too although they have to accept that it is formatted for someone much younger.
