As SATs approach, ensuring your pupils have the right tools to succeed in reading is essential. DreamBox Reading Plus is here to support you in developing proficient, confident readers who are well-prepared for their SATs.
Personalised learning for every pupil
Every pupil has unique strengths and areas for improvement. DreamBox Reading Plus uses an adaptive learning approach, ensuring that each pupil is placed on a personalised learning path based on their individual needs. Through our InSight Assessment, pupils are matched with age-appropriate texts that target their specific skill gaps, helping them progress at their own pace.
Building fluency for SATs success
Fluency in reading is key to success in the SATs, and DreamBox Reading Plus places a strong emphasis on developing this skill. Our patented Guided Window helps pupils read with greater focus and fluency by guiding their eyes across the page at a pace suited to their individual level. As pupils’ fluency improves, the pace of the window increases, fostering independent reading and enhancing their comprehension.
Evidence of progress in the classroom
We’ve partnered with Derby Research School and Spencer Academies Trust to study the effectiveness of Reading Plus. The results showed:
- Pupils using Reading Plus made more significant progress than non-users.
- Pupil Premium students using Reading Plus made 97% more progress.
- EAL and SEND pupils also made significant gains in their reading skills.
