"We use Hodder Reading Project for Years 7, 8 and 9. It’s fantastic! The children thoroughly enjoy the reading books and have fun talking about them. The reading ages of some children have gone up by 3 years in Years 7 and 8. The Inspector came into a class and saw how well it was working. He was over the moon!"
Margaret Bush, English Teacher, Ysgol Gyfun Gartholwg, Pontypridd

"Absolutely brilliant! This scheme has been so successful we now have our reluctant and disaffected readers actually asking to do more reading!"
Julie Lancaster, Darrick Wood School, Bromley

"It is so rewarding seeing a child change from a reluctant reader to becoming an enthusiastic member of the class. This is thanks to the age-appropriate materials and the clear lesson plans in the Hodder Reading Project."
Julie Shuttleworth & Julia Kirby, Higher Level Teaching Assistants, The City of Portsmouth Boys School

"Everything in my other lessons has become easier. I feel more confident and can understand things better."
Year 8 pupil, The City of Portsmouth Boys School
 
"The reading system is working very well with one of my Year 8 pupils who is a weak reader. We love the variety of tasks, the topics and the very clear processes."
Amanda Jenkins, Oratory Preparatory School, Reading

“All Year 8 and Year 9 pupils in our school, across all abilities, have Hodder Reading Project lessons once a fortnight. The kids enjoy the lessons and respond to them. They call it the ‘Hodder’ lesson! They even ask to take the reading books home. Hodder Reading Project helps to make pupils independent learners, but it also lends itself well to group work. We’re impressed with the masterclasses because they’re Key Stage 3 resources that link perfectly with GCSE.”
Kelly Bubbins, Head of English, and Debra Carr, Librarian, Willows High School, Cardiff
