Accelerate Progress with Reading

Reading time that is purposeful, meaningful and accountable

Accelerate Progress with Reading sets out a well-structured reading programme that has a proven track record. It shows how to maintain students' focus during independent activities, making their learning purposeful, meaningful and accountable. The book draws on a wealth of classroom experience that keeps the approach grounded and authentic. One of the many welcome outcomes of following this programme is that it is time-saving for teachers - you are then free to get on with instructional reading. Crucially too, students become excellent self-managers as they know what is expected of them and can proceed with a clear sense of direction.
