It is going well for Alex. His reading has improved. This happened at an early stage with the course. He has read aloud a few times at school and reported back that it had gone well. This would have filled him with dread before doing easy read. He is more confident and finds the lessons quick to do. He has not shown any more progress since his initial surge but it was such a marked improvement with his reading, maybe it is more gradual now and therefore less obvious.
He is reading more at home which is lovely to see.
