One certainty we can rely on through life is that there will always be a form to fill out somewhere. A job application. Health and safety forms. Documents for work.

Adults who struggle with reading have told us that they find forms difficult. This can create disadvantages that hold people back from progression.

Read Easy is here to help through free, confidential and one-to-one reading coaching. Last year, 96% of Readers told us they felt more confident after learning to read. Interested in helping others to reach for their dreams? Visit our website to see how you can support Read Easy.

Thank you Paula for sharing your story with Dyslexia Action Training this week and being an incredible ambassador for Read Easy Basingstoke too.

Diagnosed with dyslexia just weeks before her GCSEs, Paula left school unable to read.

At school, she was put at the back of the class and called "lazy".

For years, she carried the weight of shame and low self-worth, hiding her struggles from everyone except a tiny circle of trusted friends, family and colleagues.

At 42, everything changed.

With the support of adult reading charity Read Easy UK, Paula learned to read. Today, she is a proud Reading Ambassador empowering others to take that same step.

Thank you Dyslexia Action Training for sharing Stephie's story and her experience with our one-to-one, confidential and free reading coaching.

A special thank you to Stephie for continuing to encourage others to take the first step towards learning to read.

According to ONS data, around 2.4 million adults across England alone either cannot read or struggle significantly with reading.

This Dyslexia Awareness Week we’re sharing Stephie Bradshaw’s story.

Stephie has dyslexia and only learned to read fluently when she was 33, supported by charity Read Easy UK.

Now she shares her story to help other adults who struggle to read feel less alone.

Let’s remove the stigma around seeking support to read as an adult.

What are the apps you use on a daily basis? Adults who struggle with reading can find it difficult to access services from paying for parking through an app, to online banking.

Last year, Read Easy volunteers supported 1,844 adults on their reading journey. With more volunteers, we can help more adults to learn to read.

Imagine a day without reading.....

Maybe you're going out this weekend. Meeting friends. Figuring out how to get there, timings of buses or trains. What route to take and where to park.

Getting out and about is more complicated if you struggle to read.

You can help us reach more adults who want to learn to read. Visit our website to learn more.
