Rapid Reading
Rapid Reading books by Pearson are designed for one-to-one reading sessions with struggling learners in Key Stage 2. The scheme combines age-appropriate content that is engaging for 6 to 10 year olds with levelled texts pitched at a lower reading ability. Books begin at Starter Level A, designed for a reading age of 5 years to 5 years and 3 months, and go through to Level 6b, for a reading age of 8 years to 8 years 5 months. Stages 7-9 are aimed at older children (Year 7+) with a reading age of 8 to 10, combining fiction, short play scripts, poems and high-interest non-fiction in each book, and all with built-in support for comprehension. These readers are also dyslexia friendly and useful for both catch-up and for those children whose first language is not English.
