My daughter recently gave me this book, (we’re both avid readers), and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the ideas and suggestions of how to change just one thing in your life to make it better. One chapter really struck a chord with me though, as it was about reading. Dr Michael Mosley suggests we should read a book (ideally fiction), for 30 mins a day. He says he absolutely loved reading, and had from a young age. He says he was often spotted walking down the street, reading avidly whilst trying to avoid fellow pedestrians and lampposts. Oh how that resonated with me! Books have been such an important part of my life, I cannot imagine not being able to read, it would leave such a void. One thing we can all do is help those who are struggling to read. Read Easy Wi******er have coaches ready to guide anyone who needs help, and enable them to enjoy reading, whether it be for escapism or entertainment, or for more practical use, like reading recipes, instruction books or posters. Mosley reports that research from Yale University shows that people who read for 30 mins a day live on average 23 months longer than those who did not - the opposite of what happens if you spend the same amount of time watching TV. Food for thought indeed.

If you, or someone you know would benefit from free, non-judgmental coaching, on a one-to-one basis, contact us today. We would love to help.

Imagine not being able to read, or struggling to read, you would miss out on so much. There are many adults over the age of 18 who, for whatever reason, are in this category. Maybe they would like to be able to read, but don’t know who to contact, or where to go for help. Read Easy Wi******er has reading coaches available to help, so if you know of someone who would benefit from this, on a cost free, one-to-one basis, call us today to find out more. You know it makes sense!

I heard yesterday about someone who used to hide the fact that he couldn’t read, by carrying a pair of broken glasses in his pocket. He then felt less embarrassed asking someone else to read the menu for him, or road names, or instructions etc, because he had “an excuse”. This is just one of the methods used by people who struggle to read, or who maybe never learnt to read at all, for whatever reason. Perhaps they don’t know that help is available in the form of free, non-judgmental, one to one coaching from Read Easy. If you are reading this text, and you know of someone over the age of 18 who could benefit from our support, please help them to take that first step, by contacting us for more information.
