“Before Toe by Toe, I was living in a deep dark hole. Everyone else understood things and I didn’t. When I was given Toe by Toe, I felt a rope ladder had been thrown down to me. It didn’t have any rungs… I had to build them myself and that has taken time. Now I feel I’m near the top and I can see daylight. I feel sorry for anyone stuck at the bottom.”
Edward Charlton (aged 10), Nantwich, Cheshire
"Toe by Toe has helped my son so much! In fact his reading level improved 2 years and 4 months (in the 6 months it took us to complete). We began seeing results after the first two weeks. I remember my son telling me "mummy, I think this is working". It takes hard work and persistence, but results were amazing!"

“My name is Alfie. I am 10 years old and in my spare time I enjoy boxing, building with lego and reading. I am currently reading a book called Shadowhunters written by Cassandra Clare. I am writing to tell you that I have just completed Toe by Toe. It has helped me massively to read more difficult words and I am getting higher marks in my spelling test so I would like to thank you.”
Letter from Alfie (aged 10), Bradford, West Yorkshire
"Yesterday, despite not wanting to do her class reader with me, daughter managed to read 'gobbled', 'husband', 'doorstep', 'terrible' and 'watched'. None of these words were even faintly decodable to her before TBT (began in May). She successfully used the TBT syllable division technique to decode and read each of these - what a confidence boost for her!”

“Being raised in a Dyslexic family, it can be difficult to watch your child or family member struggle with Dyslexia. However, there is hope. I personally struggled with dyslexia at the age of 16 and had a reading age of 6, but I was able to turn things around thanks to the book Toe by Toe by Keda Cowling.”
