A New School Year – a new skill to learn.
Do you know any adults who struggle with reading? Can you imagine how hard it must be to be unable to help your child with his or her reading when they start school, and throughout those early years when a parent’s input is so vital to a child’s progress?
This is a comment from a parent who has learnt to read with Read Easy:
| ‘There was a time when I would panic or change the subject when it came to reading with my twin daughters. I have always struggled, but to deny your own children the chance to hear you read to them was heart wrenching. It’s the best feeling in the world to be able to read with your children’. |
We have been helping adults in Basingstoke to learn to read or to improve poor reading skills for over four years and have seen the difference that it can make not only to self-confidence and belief, but to employment prospects and general health and wellbeing.
