Most Helpful Reviews

ReadingWise

Kerith Ocuneff, Teacher and Primary Literacy Lead: I really like ReadingWise, our children enjoy using it. The introduction of the ZIP part for our less able children has allowed more to access alongside their peers.
Caroline Farmer, Deputy Headteacher and SENCo: We have had consistent progress for a range of pupils with different needs. Often progress is seen where other interventions have not had impact
Chris Bowcock, Teacher: The impact is significant and never too late. It is easy to complete and the children enjoy working on line using the score board to see who is achieving or in the lead.

J Williams, National Education Coordinator: Its an exceptional resources to seed ideas. however since the Pan-Canadian expectations vary from the original source documents some triage of the content is required. This takes time. The one thing teachers claim not to have a surplus of. The score of 9 accounts for this 'slight' inconvenience.
Laura Rodwell, Eco council leader and Ta: I think this is an important part of children learning and the video and live lessons are amazing.
Shawna, Professional Development Specialist: I've already shared it with my colleagues
