September has arrived and the new academic year is underway!
As we welcome in 2024/25, we want to highlight all the fantastic achievements made by our students, educators and schools this past year. We are proud to share that across all our 1,400 schools nationwide, our community of 130,000 students on Reading Plus have achieved an average of:
- 1.6 years of comprehension gains.
- 32 words per minute fluency gains.
- 5+ billion words read.
Supporting teachers
We work closely with all of our schools, witnessing the invaluable role of educators day in and day out. We make it our mission, therefore, to support them as much as possible through free training and support, time-saving solutions, and easy-to-interpret data.
Alongside providing unlimited free training with Reading Plus, we organise a range of initiatives to ensure our teachers have everything they need at their disposal – for free – including:
- CPD – we participate in and host webinars and podcasts throughout the year, partnering with teachers and experts to share insights and tips on key educational topics. See our Teachers Talk Podcast and SATs webinars.
- International Reading Conference – our host, Baasit Siddiqui, is joined by the best education experts worldwide, sharing best practices and innovative strategies to foster confident, lifelong readers in our three-day online conference. Watch the recorded sessions.
- Research and white papers – we stay up to date with the education landscape and share our findings for educators to access. This year, we published our white paper Reading in KS3: Challenge, impact, outcomes, which explores the KS3 landscape and discusses the broader implications of developing an effective reading culture.
- Reading Plus Awards – our annual awards recognise the effort, achievements and dedication of educators. Find this year’s winners here.
Celebrating our students
Our students have put in an incredible amount of effort and made amazing reading progress with Reading Plus. We couldn’t be prouder.
We love hosting various initiatives throughout the year to motivate, engage and celebrate our students on their reading journeys. A huge well done to all our initiative winners!
All of our initiatives will restart again this academic year – so keep an eye out.

2023/24 has been an amazing year at RSUK. Thank you to everyone who has joined us on their school’s reading journey – we couldn’t have achieved this all without you:
