Stephie was 33 and expecting her first baby when she heard about Read Easy.

She was unable to read, but dreamed of being able to share bedtime stories with her child.

Everyone has their own motivation to learn to read as an adult. Steph’s was of course her daughter. “I wouldn’t have started my journey if it weren’t for her,” she says. Learn more about Steph's reading story here.

Peter shared his reading journey with The Guardian this week.

Peter's story is unique to him. But we know there are so many adults out there who want to learn to read but need some support to get there.

Read Easy provides free, one-to-one, confidential reading coaching. It is all delivered and made possible by volunteers.

If you'd like to help adults like Peter, check our website for the latest volunteer opportunities.

Peter learned to read at 42 with Read Easy. His inspiring story is told here in today’s Guardian and also tonight on BBC2 🤩

I had worked for 25 years, married and started a family. But a crisis at the supermarket reminded me there was something missing from my life

Peter’s moving story about learning to read with Read Easy is featured on BBC2 tonight 📚

One of our Reader Ambassadors will share his reading journey in a new BBC documentary, airing today on BBC2 and iPlayer. Peter learned to read with Read Easy Merseyside.

Marking the National Year of Reading 2026, the documentary sees Her Majesty Queen Camilla explore the transformative power of reading, meeting four remarkable people, including Peter, whose lives have been changed by books at moments when they most needed them. The film explores how reading can lift us, open our minds and, sometimes, change the course of a life.

The film also explores the growing scientific evidence that demonstrates how reading can improve health and wellbeing.

We want to thank Peter for his willingness to share his story so publicly and express our gratitude to everyone involved in the production for their commitment to telling a story about an adult learning to read.

The Book That Changed My Life is now available on iPlayer and will be shown on BBC 2 at 9pm Wednesday 14th October.

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.

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.

What did you read today?

Not being able to read or struggling with reading as an adult isn't just about reading books.

It's about food.

Being able to check ingredients, follow instructions and choose the foods that you want and enjoy becomes a lot less fun and a lot more stressful. It's even more serious if you or someone in your family has food allergies.

You can help us change this for millions of adults across England by volunteering or supporting us.
