The Academic Literacy Programme combines personalised daily reading practice with expert teacher monitoring — so your child doesn't just read, they understand, think, and grow.
Reading, understanding, and writing are the engine behind every school subject. When these skills are weak, capable learners fall behind — across the board.
Learners decode words fluently but miss meaning, tone, and inference entirely.
Gaps in vocabulary block comprehension across science, history, maths word problems — everything.
Learners struggle to organise and express their ideas clearly in written form.
Identifying key details, inferring meaning, and reading critically remain out of reach.
Five elements work together to build real literacy skills — and keep learners on track every single week.
Learners do just 20 minutes of structured reading practice per day, 6 days a week. Short enough to be manageable — consistent enough to compound.
Our adaptive platform assigns passages at each learner's exact reading level and adjusts automatically as they improve. No one is left behind or held back.
Every week, a qualified teacher reviews completions, accuracy, effort, and progress across all learners to spot who needs support.
Plateaued at the 700–800 Lexile level? The teacher diagnoses the exact skill gap — inference, key details, vocabulary — and assigns specific remedial tasks.
Parents receive weekly updates showing whether their child is keeping up with daily practice, their progress over time, and where home support is needed.
Daleel has plateaued at Phase 2 (700–800 Lexile). Likely cause: inference skills. Teacher has assigned 3 targeted inference tasks for this week.
Each element is intentional. Together, they create the conditions for consistent, measurable improvement.
20 minutes is the sweet spot — low enough that resistance is minimal, long enough to build a real habit and compound over months.
6 days a week creates the repetition that turns practice into permanent skill. Intensity without consistency doesn't work — this does.
ReadTheory adapts to every child's level automatically. No one is bored, no one is overwhelmed. Everyone progresses at their own pace.
A qualified teacher monitors every learner weekly — catching problems early and intervening before a small gap becomes a big one.
Progress is tracked and visible. Parents and teachers always know exactly where a learner is — and where they're headed.
Plateaus are diagnosed, not just noted. The teacher identifies the specific skill blocking progress and assigns targeted tasks to fix it.
According to Scholastic research, the amount of time a child spends reading daily has a dramatic impact on vocabulary exposure and academic performance.
