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!
