Read Easy Derby & District is a charitable organisation helping adults living Derby City and the Amber Valley to learn to read, completely free of charge. Our Readers and volunteer Reading Coaches meet for half an hour twice a week, and work through a structured, phonics-based reading programme designed for adults.


We’re currently looking for Reading Coaches to join us in the Amber Valley. If you’re interested then please get in touch! Details below.


Who can learn? Adults who want to learn to read or who’d like to build their confidence with reading. It’s a free, flexible and confidential scheme, enabling Readers to learn at their own pace with their own Reading Coach.


Where do we meet? All our reading sessions take place in public yet discreet venues. There will always be other people around but Readers won’t be overlooked.


How long will it take? Reading sessions last half an hour and take place twice a week. Some people complete the course in as little as a year, while others take more than two years.


Who can volunteer to help? Anyone who can read fluently themselves can apply to become a volunteer Reading Coach. Following an initial selection procedure, volunteers are given training and then matched up with those who want to learn to read. 


If you’d like to volunteer as a Reading Coach then please contact our Volunteer Recruiter Julie Flint or email derbyrecruiter@readeasy.org.uk to find out more.


Or perhaps you know someone who’d like to learn to read.  If so get in touch with our coordinator Marianne Sterland on 07522 013 732 or email derbycoordinator2@readeasy.org.uk to find out more.
