FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Newtown, PA (OPENPRESS) June 1, 2005 � The all new www.fontyonline.com website now provides its visitors with a useful tool for determining if their child is ready to learn to read or may require a reading intervention program. The free Reading Readiness Test was designed by Tirtza Gal, CEO of EasyReader Education Ltd. and Beverly Weingrod, EasyReader educational consultant and Director of the Diagnostic Clinic for L.D., in order to provide guidance to parents who either are interested in helping their children get an early start on reading or have concerns that their children will have trouble learning to read.

�Some studies show that as many as 20% of children have difficulties acquiring the skills needed to become successful readers. Crowded classrooms, overworked teachers, and lack of knowledge about how to identify reading difficulties have led to a situation where many children are reaching higher grades without being able to read fluently,� explains Tirtza Gal. �The Reading Readiness Test assists parents with determining if their children are ready to read and if there is a problem, indicates that a child may need professional advice. Today, parents must take an active role to ensure that their children will become automatic fluent readers.�
In addition to the Reading Readiness Test, www.fontyonline.com provides information about the multi-sensory reading lab�Fonty. Fonty is also the name of the animated, charismatic character that acts as each student�s personal reading tutor. Fonty is a fully interactive reading lab. Voice recognition technology is invoked to empower the phonics based methodology to teach anyone to read. In extensive testing of Fonty it has been shown that children and adults can achieve English reading fluency after only 15 hours of consistent work with the reading program.

Tirtza Gal, EasyReader Education Ltd. CEO and founder, developed the Fonty method over many years, through testing on countless students from age five to adults.

The Reading Readiness test is completely free and can be found at www.fontyonline.com/form-reading-test.html

About EasyReader Education Ltd.

EasyReader was founded in 1996 by Ms. Tirtza Gal. Ms. Gal has been successfully tutoring children to read English for over 30 years. Parents were bringing her students who had tried every reading method available, but with no success. Ms. Gal, with the attitude that EVERYONE CAN READ, was willing to take on each and every student, from young children, eager to get started reading early, to teenagers who had suffered through years of frustration and embarrassment. She found success with every student.
In collaboration with some of the leading reading specialists in the world, Ms. Gal transferred her hands-on methodologies into a format that could be integrated into a software program. The result was FONTY. Today, Fonty is the company�s flagship product. It is sold worldwide via the www.fontyonline.com website and distributors.
EasyReader continues to develop new products and plans to introduce reading programs for additional languages as well as additional products for the English language.
