Support inclusive reading development through rhythm-based CPD for teachers.
Grounded in research and classroom practice, this evidence-based approach reading helps even reluctant readers make measurable progress – without drills, flashcards or pressure.
“Children that were reluctant to pick up a book, reluctant to read, reluctant to do anything around reading see themselves as readers want to read and start enjoying reading because they internalize the kind of almost MAGIC that goes on in the sessions - that shouldn’t work - but it does! Lower Key Stage 2 Phase Lead Teacher
Struggling readers aren’t only demotivated, they’re out of rhythm. Rhythm-based CPD builds fluency in just 10 minutes a week.
You’ve tried phonics, prompts, praise — yet something holds them back. Your students have so much potential, so why does reading feel like Groundhog Day?
The key to accessing your students' reading fluency lies in focus. When rhythm is switched off, attention scatters, decoding stalls, and reading becomes hard work.
This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about helping students get back in sync.
MY APPROACH
How Rhythm for Reading works: Focus, fluency, and measurable progress in 10 minutes a week.
This rhythm-based reading intervention helps children anticipate sound patterns, strengthening decoding, attention and comprehension. In just 10 minutes a week, children begin to:
1. Notice greater clarity in sounds,
2. Process words more quickly,
3. Read with ease and growing confidence.
Co-teach with CPD video lessons
The techniques for building attention and fluency are demonstrated in the video lessons. Teachers co-teach with the video resources each week for the first ten weeks, following a carefully sequenced set of activities that has been researched and refined in schools since 2013. The Rhythm for Reading Roadmap provides a clear curriculum for each year group.
Evidence-based session plans
The aims and objectives of lessons have already been built into the session planners, so teachers can focus on delivery and progress. Children's development is monitored throughout, allowing teachers to identify next steps and adjust the level of challenge as needed. The programme's built-in flexibility supports responsive teaching, while structured reflection is guided by practical, research-informed resources.
On-going teacher support and check-ins
This isn't traditional CPD in a conference room with speakers and slides. It's Online CPD with personalised weekly support. The programme is embedded sustainably way, with short coaching calls keep everything on track. No overwhelm. No unnecessary extras. Each call draws on the session planners and reflection tool, helping teachers stay focused on progress and impact.
Track progress with the Fluency Tracker tool
Rhythm for Reading Online CPD is grounded in evidence with fluency at its core. The Reading Fluency Tracker is a simple companion tool for monitoring early reading progress week by week. It records tricky words, three levels of fluency and attitudes to reading. Children can add own their comments too. Best of all, it only takes two minutes to complete.
Teachers see results fast.
Real progress with reading and no extra prep required.

Our Reluctant Readers Suddenly Wanted To Read - It Felt Like Magic.
“We’ve been working together for about ten years with Marion and the biggest thing that we notice with the children, is their change in confidence, seeing themselves as readers after just six weeks of doing the programme. Things that we’ve been trying to get to happen for two or three years suddenly click into place. Obviously for the academic side, the children’s levels do go up quite significantly, but from the personal point of view - just the love of reading - and the way that they want to read and see themselves as readers is quite special as well.”

New Insights for Teachers and Parents
When Rhythm and Phonics Collide
A child with weak phonemic awareness cannot detect the differences between sounds, but rhythm sharpens perception.
Finding Flow in Early Reading
Children who most need to improve in terms of reading fluency require support from the most effective teachers.
Rhythm and Reading Comprehension
The 'sing-song' quality of speech comes to life in children’s voices when they read with ease, fluency and understanding.
