Accelerating Literacy Progress at Ibstock Junior School

A six-week Fonetti intervention accelerated reading progress across an entire cohort boosting average reading ages by two years and transforming outcomes for the children who needed it most.

In just six weeks, Fonetti helped an entire cohort of 30 pupils at Ibstock Junior School achieve extraordinary gains in reading. Using daily read-aloud practice with real-time feedback, pupils improved their average reading rate by two years, with significant boosts in accuracy and comprehension. One pupil premium child made exceptional progress—gaining over three years in reading rate and nearly three years in comprehension. This rapid improvement demonstrates how technology-enhanced reading can transform literacy outcomes at scale while reducing teacher workload.
