Reading does not happen automatically. Spoken language is an innate human trait that develops through exposure & carer support but to be able to read comprehensively, the brain must be taught explicitly how to connect visual display (in print or on screen) to sounds, meaning and speech. There are many reasons why people do not learn to read when young. Read Easy has a wide range of phonics-based coaching strategies to help adults (18+) learn to read. Visit the Read Easy stand and you will see how we work with adults to develop their skills and confidence with reading. Hear from one of our 'graduate' readers about her experience of learning to read in mid-life and the difference it has made to her world. You'll never take reading for granted again!
