It is a really useful tool for schools who are stuck on their journey to improving reading. It is able to support with baseline assessment and checking children's progress. It gives tangible feedback that can be fed into school improvement.

Reading Plus has had a huge impact on our school. It is popular with parents, teachers and children alike. The children enjoy the texts they read, find out lots of new information from them and like how the Reading Plus dashboard looks. They love the competitive nature of the leaderboard and the certificates they get when they level up.

Some of the games could be improved. Otherwise, it is great for independent work while teachers meet with small groups.

it supports the curriculum, spelling ability through personalised pathway, systematic assessment, improves attainment and for me the translation option is very important; along with dyslexia friendly features definitely makes a big difference.

Implementing Lyfta across Bridgewater High School & The Challenge Academy Trust has had a transformative impact on both our students and teachers. It has broadened our students' global perspectives, nurtured empathy, and provided a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

Lyfta is slickly presented and students are able to explore the content intuitively. Perhaps there could be more links to the curriculum and when I first set it up for the students, we had some technical difficulties.

It’s a fantastic resource

Pobble has been a constant in my teaching for around 4 years now. Without it, I lose the attainment of all children within the class to try their best in writing. They want their work to be celebrated, no matter how small the progress is. With the help of Pobble presentations, resources, high quality stimuli, moderation, WAGOLLs and more teachers are able to get the children there!

I value the creativity of your program and find it to be the most unique literacy program I have ever used. I am really disappointed that staff are not interested in any online program that they need to pay for.

We enjoyed the material. Some direct contact line of communication which is more personal would be helpful. Also the option to pause a student rather than cancel would be better.

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.

I think this is an important part of children learning and the video and live lessons are amazing.

At our school, we have received exceptional CPD, which has inspired us to explore and create innovative books across different subject areas. Our students love the variety and choice of books in the extensive library. The narration feature is brilliant! Our dyslexic students and reluctant readers can now listen to any book they choose and don't have to be limited to books at their reading level. This exposure to language has definitely had an impact on their reading attainment and engagement.

We use it as a way of showing reading for pleasure

Binogi is although a great app for learners but sometime the language becomes a barrier. It should be recorded in blended or native language

Well, I advocated for a board wide access during the pandemic because researched based practice is clear!

This is a great service to use as an educational platform and also as a safeguarding children at home tool

I would recommend EDClass for a number of reasons. The first being the that the customer service team are extremely helpful. No matter which member of the team answers the phone, everyone is always there to help no matter what the query. Genuinely really nice people who are very helpful. Requests are always followed up straight away with no delay which is especially helpful for a school as it is really fast paced and things need to be put in place quickly. The second being the accessibility for staff. The daily attendance alerts you receive via email and text mean that you don't have to make time to look at student attendance on the account. This is helpful for me as I have such a busy schedule and don't have time to look everyday.
