“Primarily, the pupils like it because they are working independently, they don’t have a teacher or a learning assistant breathing down their neck, and they don’t feel patronised.”
Laura McMillan, Forrester High, Edinburgh
"X is a student who had no English whatsoever. Since using Readingwise, he has become confident and has even started to speak. I know how powerful Readingwise is, hence, I have pushed this with SEND/EAL. It makes me so happy that he is top of the leader board across other schools too. What an achievement, which we will most definitely celebrate."
Holy Trinity Cathloic School
"ReadingWise will be up and running again next week as children keep asking!"
Jane Reilly, Principal Teacher, Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School
"One of our pupils (MH) has been using ReadingWise for 9 weeks and today after using a single word test - he has improved by 1 year. A bonus is that he would like to continue this at home after the holidays due to us focussing on different pupils."
Kirsten Sproul-Brown, PT Literacy Interventions, Northfield Academy, Aberdeen
“Attached are our updated reading ages, showing the progress made. We’re really pleased!!! Out of 16 children, only 2 have made less than 6 months progress, with one child showing 2 years 3 months!”

"Our P2 class teacher is using ZIP as part of her work programme in the class. She is seeing a great impact and it ties in nicely with the work she is doing in class, particularly in consolidating blending. Other classes have been asking if they could be set up so that they can use it in class too so this is something I will look into in the new year."
Roberta Schendel, Catrine Primary School, East Ayrshire
“I have just benchmarked X again and he now has a reading age of 14 years... an improvement of 5 years from his initial reading age of 9!”
Jan Docker, SENCO, Sellincourt Primary School, Wandsworth

"With regard to the Roald Dahl work, she’s really enjoying it to the extent that she’s completed all of the tasks and it has spurred her on to read the whole book! She’s never been an avid reader unfortunately but, with luck, this will be the catalyst that sparks a love of reading."
Parent, Crickhowell High School, Powys
