Meet Charlotte
We’re delighted to introduce one of our Reading Plus Champions, Year 6 pupil Charlotte from Ribbon Academy.
Charlotte’s teacher, Kim Flower, nominated her for the role and shared with us:
“Charlotte’s commitment to reading is beautiful to see – particularly since she reads more for pleasure too. She is an absolute role model to Ribbon Academy. We are so proud of her!”
The role of Champions
At Reading Solutions UK, 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 Charlotte’s Reading Plus Journey!
Before Reading Plus, I didn’t really like reading. But since we have been introduced to Reading Plus, I have enjoyed reading more. I also try to use Reading Plus at home when I can.
My favourite genre to read is sports and my favourite text on the programme was about different footballers and the leagues in football. However, Reading Plus has also introduced me to fiction. Before Reading Plus, I didn’t really like fiction, but now I do.
I enjoy using the programme because it is fun and easy to use, and since using Reading Plus, I feel my reading has improved massively.
Advice I would give to other students on their Reading Plus journey is when you feel the texts are hard – don’t give up.
An adaptive programme
Every Reading Plus journey will be different as our adaptive programme places all students on a personalised learning path to success.
Students begin with an adaptive assessment, which provides a baseline and a data-driven starting point. These results place each student at the right level in the programme before creating a learning pathway to accelerate their strengths and improve their weaknesses.
Over 1,300 high-quality and age-appropriate informational, fiction and non-fiction texts are then available for students to self-select from to develop comprehension and vocabulary knowledge.
These engaging texts, instant feedback and gamification features keep students motivated.
As students progress through their adaptive, personalised path:
- Their fluency, stamina, comprehension and vocabulary improve – as does motivation.
- Cross-curricular subject knowledge improves due to the variety of text types and topics.
- They become curious and confident readers who are more likely to read for pleasure.
