We are proud to say that on average, the pupils we support make seven months progress in reading and spelling, which enables them to catch up with their peers and carry on progressing.

Reading Quest employs a wide variety of tried and tested methods. School staff are trained to observe each child carefully and to identify problems. Lessons are tailored to the needs of each pupil. Every lesson involves reading, writing and playing literacy games as well as plenty of oral communication. At the end of each session, the child chooses a book to take home and a written ‘quest’ or challenge is set to encourage them to read the book and come back to the next session with the answer.

Parents and carers also play a vital role. They are invited to observe lessons and are encouraged to help their children at home using the Reading Quest approach and resources.
