Read Easy UK

Shane and his Read Easy Birmingham South West coach recently featured on BBC Midlands.

Shane shared how he has gone from feeling awkward about his struggle with reading to enjoying it, gaining more confidence, exploring his creativity and reading with his son.

Thank you Shane for being so willing to share your story and inspiring other adults who might want to learn to read.

And if hearing from Read Easy Birmingham South West's volunteers has inspired you, there are plenty of opportunities to help all the other 'Shanes' we know are out there.

From reading a menu, to checking packaging, to sharing stories with family - having difficulties with reading impacts daily life in so many ways. And we know that 2.4 million adults in England cannot read or struggle to read.

Catch Read Easy on the Inside the Reading Gap podcast to hear more about the life-changing effects of learning to read.

Thank you to Emilie Silverwood-Cope for featuring us, and also for giving your time to Read Easy as a coach in the past!

Learning to read as an adult is a lot like playing football, whether it is in your local five-a-side or an elite national squad at the World Cup.

Some days, it feels like it is all coming home. And other days, it feels like an impossible dream.

Our coaches are there for our Readers, helping them to turn their dream of reading with confidence into reality. They are the loudest fans, the biggest cheerleaders and they're in it for as long as it takes.
