We offer free, confidential 1:1 coaching to any adult in the Plymouth area who can’t read or who struggles with reading. Please get in touch for more info!
A big thanks to Jen Saunders at Plymouth libraries @plymlibraries and the Team at World Book Night for their kind donation of 50 reading books to be shared amongst our readers.
MaryAnn and Marianna at Stoke Village and Blockhouse Park Fun Day. They made contact with a number of agencies attending the event and gave out posters and leaflets for display around the area. The weather could have been kinder.
This is Lorna, one of Read Easy Plymouth's reading coaches. She has been coaching since the start of this year and is really enjoying seeing her reader make progress. Email [email protected] if you'd like to join us.

Such a great success story! With this, and Jay Blades’ documentary on 26 Jan, the topic of adult literacy is taking centre stage. Let’s hope this encourages more adults to take the brave step towards learning to read - it is never too late!
Sarah Todd: 'My children didn't know I couldn't read'
Sarah struggled to write her name or tell the the time when she was 14, but used @ReadEasyUK in 2015 to gain these skills. She tells @Chloetilley about how her children helped her learn: https://t.co/o01Fst5EXu
Listen in from 13:10mins to hear our CEO Ginny and the wonderful Sarah - a Read Easy graduate - who were interviewed on @BBCWomansHour this morning.

@jayblades_ Congratulations Jay, your story will be an inspiration. Every adult knows how much harder it is to learn something new the older we get, but at Read Easy we also understand that it is still possible! Your success shows others it can be done.
Thanks for the like @DevonLifeEd ! Did you see the emailed copy about @ReadEasyPlym@Read_Easy_Exe and other Devon-based RE groups’ efforts to teach local adults to read? We all need more volunteers for our work in local communities; a mention in @DevonLife would be so helpful😀
