Read Easy UK

Read Easy UK provides free, confidential one-to-one reading coaching for adults, from trained volunteers, through their locally run volunteer groups. 
They want all adults in the UK to have the literacy skills they need to fulfil their potential and live life to the full, helping them to improve their employment opportunities and support their own children’s learning. 

Steve's story

Steve's story
Steve approached Read Easy in his 50s after years feeling embarrassed and ashamed about his inability to read. His life has been transformed and he can finally enjoy reading stories to his grandchildren.

The importance of our one-to-one approach

The importance of our one-to-one approach
Many adults are too scared and embarrassed to attend reading classes. Working with one volunteer allows them to work at their own pace, with dedicated support.

Offering support during the pandemic

Offering support during the pandemic
For adults who struggle to read, the Coronavirus pandemic has left them feeling more isolated than ever before. Read Easy’s readers and coaches have continued to meet remotely throughout the last year using Zoom and WhatsApp.
