Read Easy is a not-for-profit organisation that recruits, trains and supports volunteers to give one-to-one tuition to adults who struggle with reading.
Working through community-based volunteer groups, Read Easy offers a free, friendly, flexible approach to learning to read for any adult who either can’t read at all, or who lacks confidence with reading.
Read Easy Oxford is an affiliated member of the national charity, Read Easy UK. It works across the city of Oxford.
Read Easy's success is founded on a one-to-one approach, using a highly effective, phonics-based reading scheme, supported by other learning activities. It gives people the opportunity to work in private and at their own pace and builds reading skills, confidence and self-esteem.
In practice, trained volunteers meet with readers twice a week for a 30-minute instruction session. Each local Read Easy group has a volunteer management committee to provide training and support for volunteers and to work with organisations in the community to identify adult learners who could benefit from our services.
