10 Reasons why schools use ReadingWise?
1. Raises reading ages
ReadingWise English can help you narrow the attainment gap in your classroom. Research showed it raised the reading ages of struggling readers by over nine months in under 20 hours.
2. Maximises reach
Only one adult to 10 students is needed and the programme does not need specialised teachers - teaching assistants can learn in 2-hours how to deliver the programmes.
3. It works where other programmes have failed
ReadingWise English specifically targets the 20% of all learners who struggle to read and are falling behind.
4. It makes a real difference for individual children
By using the programme you’ll know that you’ve done all you can to improve the educational outcomes for all the individual learners in your class.
5. Supports all children who are struggling
It works for anyone who struggles with any aspect of reading - adults, children - and those diagnosed with a learning difficulty such as dyslexia.
6. It works particularly well for children with behavioural difficulties
Because of its advanced “grounding” techniques, designed to improve concentration, ReadingWise English is effective for children with attention difficulties.
7. It works for all aspects of literacy
Drawing on the simple model of reading, ReadingWise helps everyone, from readers who can hardly read one letter to those who have difficulty with comprehension skills like inference.
8. It makes learning fun and effortless
ReadingWise English uses a unique system of letter recognition that brings about effortless learning in early readers of all ages and abilities.
9. There are 1,000 Animated lessons
ReadingWise contains over a thousand animated lessons and incorporates multi-sensory activities. Learners are encouraged to work independently and are rewarded for accuracy.
10. It’s a social enterprise
Our goal at ReadingWise is to enable every poor reader in the UK (and the rest of the English-speaking world) to have access to this programme so they don’t get left behind. That’s why the cost of this programme is so low.
