Data is collected during every Thinking Reading lesson, so it's easy to calculate the average reading gains per lesson, and the ratio gain (RG) of progression for every month in the programme. Some case studies..
Being behind in reading does not equate to low intelligence . . . In fact, learning to read well can improve IQ results. It's important to reject myths and low expectations when tackling adolescence literacy problems.
Teaching reading effectively is one of the cheapest, most useful things we can do as a society. It is central to social justice and it is life changing. To see more lives changed: https://www.thinkingreading.com/case-studies

Our mission is to eradicate adolescent illiteracy. No student should leave school unable to read well, regardless of background. If you believe this too, we'd love to hear from you. https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact
Effective intervention requires detailed assessment. There are no shortcuts & beware quick fixes. Contact us for more information: https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact/
FAQ: How long does the programme take? Students stay on it until they have caught up completely. The time depends on how far behind they are & how rapidly they progress. Data shows typical progress is 2 months per 30 min lesson & takes average 6 months to gain 5 years or more in their reading.
The team at @EppingStJohns have created a purpose built Thinking Reading room. This is an impressive development and shows real commitment to the pupils who are on the program.
We consult with senior leaders to ensure that systems are in place for systematic screening so that every child who needs help is identified & helped. Thinking Reading is not a ‘bolt-on’ but is integrated into the ‘DNA’ of the school. Contact us: https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact/
All our materials are developed specifically for secondary students. Thinking Reading is not an adaptation of a primary school programme. Contact us for more on how we can support your students: https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact/
Our programme is designed so students make rapid progress in just three, 30-minute 1-to-1 sessions per week, minimising impact on their curriculum studies. Rapid progress means that they are only withdrawn from lessons for a limited period. Contact us: https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact/
Love seeing outcomes like these
How are we different? We teach the lowest 10%. No one else does this successfully; some of the best-known ‘reading interventions’ actually ignore this group. Your students will catch up completely. The length of time on the programme is determined by the student’s rate of progress.
Rejecting myths liberates students from falsely low expectations.

We know that students sustain their gains. No other secondary school reading intervention collects data in this area. If a student falls back, the system requires them to complete additional lessons to secure their progress. Contact us for more information: https://www.thinkingreading.com/contact/

Many children will learn to read regardless of the teaching method used, but a significant proportion will need systematic, explicit instruction. If a student has reached adolescence with reading problems, the situation is more complicated. Our program enables them to catch up completely & quickly.
