‘Learning to read for me was the best thing I have ever done. My whole time with my Coach, I was inspired to improve, to write my own short poems and to understand the deeper meaning of words and this has been very useful and successful.'

Reading develops understanding, access to knowledge & opens doors to new opportunities. It’s the real levelling up. Hope @LeedsEasy shares inspiring stories of educational revolutionaries such as #paulofreire Brazilian Educator’s legacy - to bring home the importance of it!
A great news story for you all this Friday as we say a HUGE congratulations to our reader Adam and his coach Laura!
Adam is really proud to receive his certificate for completing the first manual and would encourage anyone who struggles to read to get in touch with @ReadEasyUK

He's a total star and worked so hard to get to this point. Seeing him working with his coach was the highlight of my week.

This week is #NationalStorytellingWeek and what better way to celebrate than to get out with your little ones and listen to stories in one of our libraries. #ReadySteadyReaders

No adults who come to us to learn to read have to pay, the work we do is completely free. We rely on fundraising to be able to provide this service.
If you are able to make a small donation it is very gratefully received.

I think you are a brave man to show this vulnerability to the world and I hope it inspires others.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart …. I worked with teenagers,gang members, those sofa surfers, excluded from school, the homeless - a great proportion of the lads were dyslexic or illiterate- persuading them to go to Adult literacy was a huge challenge - masculinity etc🥰🙏
