Adult Subscribers Tell of Benefits Gained Using the We All Can Read Online Program

The above 10 minute video contains interviews with the Guard Education Services Officer and soldiers of the Georgia Army National Guard along with the author of We All Can Read.

Dear Mr. Williams,

On behalf of the soldiers of the Georgia Army National Guard, I wish to thank you for the countless hours you have devoted to teaching the phonics reading program.

Through your dedication to increasing the literacy level of our soldiers, they have continued to progress independently, and prove to others they are capable of succeeding.

Your phonics reading instructor program, to be taught in the armory, will enable the soldier to continue improving his skills. Many, many soldiers will continue to profit from your program long after the government funding is eliminated. It is obvious that once these soldiers master the ability to decode a word, they have developed the ability to read with fluency.

Again, I want to thank you for introducing your program to the Georgia Army National Guard and wish you continued success.

After completing this course I feel that my life has forever changed.

Hi Jim,

I’ve always struggled with my understanding of spelling for many years. This unfortunately led me to invent my own rule book on how to avoid a situation that involved spelling & writing. I always knew that I wanted some way to fix this problem, however, never realized that I had not been taught the valuable material presented in your program.

After completing this course I feel that my life has forever changed. Now with my new skills, I’m confident to pursue any future avenues that I most likely wouldn’t have explored without having the We Can All Read program under my belt. I can’t thank you enough for putting together a wonderful program that truly works.

I am more than happy for you to post my note. It would be a privilege to hopefully inspire someone like myself to make that all-important first step.

Sincerely,

Brad Sly / Australia

Thank you for putting this course together, not for just me but for all those people like me. The left out. The forgotten and the dismissed. Those who society thought nothing of and expected nothing of in life.

Hello Mr. Williams,

I talked to you about 3 months ago about starting the course and I’m finally doing it! I have already looked at the first 10 lessons but I’m going over them again. I’m on lesson 5 and I think, no, I know I’m already a better reader. I’m very excited about being able to read a book and sound it out to someone. I feel like I’m stepping into a whole new world. I know it will help me and I’ll be forever in your debt for helping me reach a new level of skill and understanding.

This is what was suppose to happen 40 years ago and now it is going to come about. I don’t know exactly what I’ll do with the ability to read phonically and the proper way. But I do know I’ll read a lot more and I’ll owe it all to you. Thank you for putting this course together, not for just me but for all those people like me. The left out. The forgotten and the dismissed. Those who society thought nothing of and expected nothing of in life. Even if you’ve only helped 1000 people you’ve done more than many people in life to make the world a better place. I think you should take pride in that and you deserve to do so.

This is without a doubt the best value for me to learn to read with phonics skills. I figured to get the same skill set from a personal tutor it would cost me at least $3000, maybe $4500 over a year. The course you put together is inexpensive and works! Just because it cost a lot to do something doesn’t mean it’s the best way or that it’s going to work. I know this course works already.

So to those who are interested in the course I have this to say. What do you have to lose by going over the 10 free lessons and see if it’ll work for you? It takes about as much time to do as it does to watch a long movie on the DVD player at home. This you can do on your cellphone riding in a train if you have the bandwidth and the Internet.  Think about that.

Mr. Jim Williams thanks again for all your hard work setting this up online and I hope you have a great night and next day.

I am 60 years old. My gratitude to you for developing your reading program which is quickly giving me confidence in reading and enjoying reading for the first time.

Hello Jim,

I wish I was introduced to your program or a program like yours when I was in grammar school. It would have solved 90% of my agony of reading, spelling and most of all the embarrassing oral reading in the classroom and in public as an adult.

However,  I am dyslexic which made me think I was dumb in my early school years. I was in high school before I ever heard of dyslexic problems.  Do you have information helping adults read with dyslexic problems?  I am 60 years old.

I have an associate degree in Electronic Engineering Technology. I have done well in life but reading has held me back from great success. I have always tried to avoid reading anything unless I had to for information.

I can read OK.  I want to become a good reader. Your program is great.   I have answered many questions for my self already that now make sense reading with purpose, using all the phonics rules. So, I was able to go through most of the first 200 lessons okay.

My gratitude to you for developing your reading program which is quickly giving me confidence in reading and enjoying reading for the first time. I give you permission to use my comments in anyway you wish.

Please refer to me as, “Bob D.”.

Thanks again,

I love the system and it is GREAT!! I have always struggled with spelling and dyslexia and your system has helped me tremendously.

I love the system and it is GREAT!! I have a seasonal job where I am off in the winter months and have been using the lessons. I have always struggled with spelling and dyslexia and your system has helped me tremendously. Now my issue becomes time. I work, at a minimum, 55 hours a week from now until next winter. I simply do not have the time for this with my job and family.

I will be resuming the lessons next winter. I thought I could do 10 a day and be done in 60-70 days. Boy was I wrong, once I got to the higher numbers the time required for each one increased, and really slowed my pace. I am on Lesson 413 now– so that is where I will resume in winter.

Again, I can’t say enough good things about the program. It has really been beneficial to me. I’ll be back.

Your program has really helped me develop the skills for reading and spelling. I can already notice the improvement in my spelling. Sounding out words was a crucial part of spelling that I didn’t learn well when I was a kid. I wouldn’t read books because I thought it was “too hard.” It was never hard, only that I didn’t know how.

Hey, I bought your program, and I just wanted to say that it has really helped me develop all the skills for reading and spelling. Although I’m not entirely done with it, I can already notice the improvement in my spelling. Sounding out words was a crucial part of spelling that I didn’t learn well when I was a kid. I was a kind of a troublemaker and never really paid attention to the reading part of school. Before the program, I knew how to spell most basic words, and I knew grammar pretty well; however, when it came to more complex word with multiple syllables, I would get lost and resort to Google or autocorrect on my phone. I remember viewing an old interview on your website, and you spoke about how there are emotional damages to a person because of the lack of knowledge in reading, and in fact, you ‘re right. I can tell you that’s true. I was never confident in reading and school as a young boy. I would get made fun of whenever reading aloud. That was so discouraging for me. I wouldn’t read books because I thought it was “too hard.” It was never hard, only that I didn’t know how. For much of my life, I knew how to spell basic words, and spell most other ones from memory, but through your program, I can say that I have the skills to read properly. It grew my confidence and in fact helped me to get back into reading. I really want to thank you so very much for this program. I hope nothing but the best for you. God bless you sir.
