Free Rapid Phonics samples

Thousands of schools up and down the country use Rapid to help their struggling learners, including children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with SEN, catch up in phonics – and the results speak for themselves. A Rapid Phonics trial in Neath and Port Talbot found children quadrupled their expected reading progress and doubled their expected spelling progress!

"The children’s self-esteem has really grown – they’re so much more confident." – Jane Aplin, Upton Junior School, Dorset
