Stockport school shares how Reading Plus has engaged their most reluctant readers and allowed advanced readers to flourish

As part of a new approach to teaching English, St Elisabeth’s CE Primary School in Stockport planned to gradually implement Reading Plus over the course of this academic year.

After Deputy Head and Year 5 Class Teacher Kieran Roberts introduced our online reading programme to his class, the news of its impact quickly spread across the school – encouraging several teachers to try it well ahead of schedule. Now, St Elisabeth's is full of engaged, enthusiastic and improved readers from Year 2 to Year 6.

“We realised very quickly that Reading Plus can personalise learning and provide us with data in ways that we could not possibly do ourselves. Therefore, we knew that by using it, we were giving our children the best they possibly could have in a bespoke reading programme.” Amanda, Head of School
