Sharples School, Bolton

"Last week seeing a Year 10 who has worked with admirable focus informing his English teacher that he has made 83 months progress made me emotional. A reading age of just above seven up to over fourteen is just beyond incredible. I would recommend that feeling to anyone."

Charlton Park Academy / CENMAC

"He’s always been reluctant to read aloud and practice reading but has really enjoyed working his way through the programme, at his own speed and with little interference from an adult. His confidence in reading aloud (and so willingness to do it) has definitely increased."
