What teachers are saying about Reading Planet...
We use the books for Guided Reading three times a week and for individual reading to an adult twice a week. We do half an hour phonics every day and the books do link in well. In terms of a reading scheme, it’s brilliant – it really works. It has good texts, lots of variety of texts and good support activities.
Teacher Wilton CE Primary SchoolIn our catchment area, children don’t have many outside experiences, so the stories strike the right balance of being relevant and relatable, but humorous and engaging too. We have found that the books are engaging for the children and link to their interests – the children relate to the characters.
Teacher Griffin Park Primary SchoolWe had a child with EAL join in October with a low PiRA standardised score of 75, whose score is now 98 after only nine months Reading Planet has definitely helped her to build up her vocabulary and encouraged her engagement.
Teacher Downsway Primary SchoolEvery book is available as an interactive eBook! We think Reading Planet Online is excellent for allowing all children to enjoy a book together. Rather than it being a passive experience the children come up to the whiteboard and answer quizzes, highlight text, move things around – it all enhances the shared reading experience.
Teacher St. Barnabus CE First and Middle SchoolChildren love the modern feel of the stories. We have access to other schemes but they’re not used as a scheme, just additional books within the colour band for access. Children are much more engaged with Reading Planet.
