One in six adults in England has poor literacy skills. So everyone knows an adult who struggles to read - but you may not be aware who they are. Reading is a vital life skill. Poor reading skills have huge personal, social and economic impacts on individuals and communities. Read Easy volunteers support adults to learn to read using a phonics-based method. Phonics teaches people how written letters connect to spoken sounds, allowing the brain to decode words efficiently and accurately. Visit the Read Easy stand in the Community Zone to gain an understanding of how it feels to have problems with reading and how the brain processes spoken versus written language. Match sounds to letters to build words and experiment with sounds and letters to decode unfamiliar words. Learn how Read Easy supports adults to learn to read and how you can support Read Easy in your community.
