Nathaniel's Reading Plus text review
Meet Nathaniel
We're delighted to introduce one of our Reading Plus Champions, Year 6 pupil Nathaniel from St Fidelis Catholic Primary School.
Nathaniel's teacher, Annabel Phelan, nominated him for the role and shared with us:
“Nathaniel is a fantastic role model when it comes to using Reading Plus. Since starting in September, he has read the most words in his class at 67,722. He has improved his reading speed by an average of 35 words per minute and has gained an average of 1.7 levels.”
The role of Champions
At Daisy Education, we are devoted to accelerating reading progress while instilling a love for reading in our students. One way in which we do this is by appointing Reading Plus Champions, who have the opportunity to complete additional exciting tasks including:
- Reviewing new (and unseen!) texts to be added to Reading Plus.
- Sharing their experience of Reading Plus in a blog titled ‘My Reading Plus Journey’.
- Collaborating with us on interviews with children’s authors.
We’re delighted to publish Nathaniel’s review of Reading Plus text Women in War – A History – which he rated 10/10!

I read a text about Elsie Ott and the criticism of women in wars as men think they are stronger than women.

The first page because it tells me more about Elsie Ott.
