Read Easy Lambeth are Looking for Adult Reading Coaches
 Did you know that there are 2.4 million adults in England alone who can barely read or cannot read at all? Not being able to read impacts every aspect of their daily life, from getting a job to helping their children at school.
Read Easy Lambeth provides free, confidential, one-to-one coaching for adults who struggle to read. They are looking for reading coaches to meet twice a week for 30 minutes with a new reader at a mutually convenient location. All training is provided and we use the Shannon Trust Turning Pages phonics-based reading scheme which has been specially written for adults.
As a reading coach you will be making a real difference to someone's life. In the words of Reading Coach Jane: "You can’t really beat helping someone to achieve their goals. It’s a real feel-good situation for both parties."
