Are you looking for reading development support for your EAL students?
Register for this free session to explore the award-winning online reading programme proven to develop EAL students’ reading skills – and learn more about a FREE PILOT.
Join Senior Reading Development Consultant and former EAL teacher for 10 years, Lee Carrick, as he introduces you to DreamBox Reading Plus and its adaptive technology that ensures your EAL students are put on a tailored path to reading success – including features that develop their:

Vocabulary development.
Comprehension skills.
Background knowledge/cultural context.

In a research study with Derby Research School, it was proven that EAL pupils who accessed Reading Plus made 50% more progress than EAL pupils who did not use the programme.
FREE PILOT: We offer schools the opportunity to try the programme for FREE for four weeks to see firsthand its impact on your EAL students.
“We have a high proportion of EAL at our school (98.4%) and our children find reading the most challenging part of the curriculum. Over the three months we’ve used Reading Plus, my class have increased an average of 2.5 comprehension gains in years and 29 words per minute in their reading speed.”
Suzanna Morrison, Assistant Principal and English Lead at Whetley Academy.
About DreamBox Reading Plus:
The adaptive online reading development programme places students on a personalised reading journey that matches individual proficiency levels. This tailored approach helps EAL students build their reading skills at a comfortable pace, gradually increasing complexity as they improve.
By providing a safe and supportive environment for practice, Reading Plus helps EAL students build confidence in their reading abilities. As they observe their progress, they become more willing to engage in English language activities both in and out of the classroom.
