Thousands of teachers up and down the country know and love our award-winning

Rapid resources and are using them to help children catch up in Phonics,

Reading, Writing and Maths.

That’s because Rapid’s fun, it helps children to be

more confident and gives them an

appetite for learning. But above all, it’s because

Rapid can treble the progress of struggling and

disadvantaged children and learners with SEN.

Proven to work for struggling learners

Catch up’s never been so coolRapid’s stylish and colourful resources will really hook your children into learning. With fun characters, cool illustrations and a special dyslexia-friendly font, the pupil books for every subject are age-appropriate and finely levelled to ensure you’ll always have the right resource for each child.

And the careful levelling and accessible language in each pupil book means Rapid is also perfect for children who have English as an additional language.

Ground-breaking softwareRapid’s unique software is designed to act like another teacher in your classroom. Rapid Phonics interactive eBooks help children’s pronunciation. The Rapid Reading voice-recognition software patiently listens to your children as they practise reading independently, Rapid Writing pupil software helps children write their own stories and Rapid Maths pupil activities give children that all-important repeated practice they need to make progress.

With Rapid software, children really are in control of their learning and by working independently to reinforce the skills they’ve learned in their group sessions, it is a great way to build their confidence.

Needs only one teacher to manage a group

An extra pair of hands in your classroomRapid’s pick-up-and-go teaching resources make effective interventions easy to set up and run, giving you the support you need to help each child progress.

Using Rapid, one teacher can easily manage a small group or 1:1 session. Benchmarking assessment allows you to place each child at the correct level within Rapid, helps you identify when they are ready to move on and monitors their progress in a non-pressurised way.

Expert AuthorsThere’s a fantastic team of authors behind Rapid. Rapid Phonics is written by Sound Discovery author Marlynne Grant. Rapid Reading and Rapid Writing were developed by Dee Reid and Diana Bentley, creators of the hugely successful Catch Up programme.

And Rapid Maths was written by Rose Griffiths, author of the widely known Number Connections programme and lecturer at the University of Leicester’s School of Education.

“The materials are so motivational. They are fun, very bright, laid out beautifully. They give children opportunities to

have a practice before they do the real thing.”

Linda Christian, Wantage Primary School, Oxfordshire

Thousands of schools and local authorities up and down the country use Rapid to help their struggling and disadvantaged children and learners with SEN to catch up in Phonics, Reading, Writing and Maths. An independent study by NFER told us that pupils using Rapid Reading make more than twice the normal rate of progress in reading, and many more schools have shared with us the ‘before and after’ results of their interventions using Rapid, showing just how much of an impact regular sessions with Rapid have had on their pupils.

We know Rapid works – the results speak for themselves!

An approach that can treble the progress of children with reading and spelling difficultiesThe Sound Discovery method behind Rapid Phonics not only helped children progress 15 months ahead of their chronological age for both reading and spelling, they also went on to perform above the national average in Reading and Writing SATs at KS1 and KS2. In a separate trial, one group of low achievers even made 6 - 9 times the expected rate of progress!

Rapid Reading can treble pupils’ normal rate of reading progressPupils using Rapid Reading in Neath & Port Talbot’s thirteen primary schools made an average gain of 19 months in their reading age over a six-month period (using the programme in two half hour sessions a week). That’s 3.2 times the expected progress!

Rapid can treble pupils’ progress! Try Rapid for FREE at www.pearsonprimary.co.uk/tryrapid5

We know Rapid works – the results speak for themselves!

Rapid Writing can double pupils’ normal rate of writing progress Pupils using Rapid Writing at Upton Junior School in Dorset made an average gain of 2.5 National Curriculum sub-levels over a seven-month period (using the programme in two guided writing and two software sessions per week) and one pupil jumped five sub-levels using Rapid Writing! That’s 2.1 times the expected progress!

That’s 2.9 times the expected progress!

The snappy way to help your children catch up in phonics!Snappy phonics lessons and resourcesWe know it can be hard to inspire older readers who have fallen behind because their needs are very different from those of reception readers.

The accompanying Placement Tests help you measure progress, while the Teaching Guide can help even the busiest teachers and TAs set up really effective interventions: packed full of games and actions to help children remember important spelling and reading strategies.
