ID-100103395Easyread mainly focuses on helping children in primary and secondary education reverse their reading difficulties.

But there are people with dyslexia (or reading difficulties not due to any intellectual disability) of all age groups. One of the most difficult stages of life for many dyslexics is university, especially in the humanities where reading hundreds of pages for one class is common. This often forces students to skim their way through text – and consequently lose quite a bit of comprehension.

Most universities around the English-speaking globe offer help through writing centres and student support services. However, the quality of that support varies widely. Read the stories of 3 college students here:
