Improve Reading Fluency and Reduce Classroom Disruption – With Rhythm-Based Reading CPD for Teachers.
This evidence-based reading fluency programme helps even reluctant readers make fast, measurable progress – without drills or flashcards.
“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 does work! 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 — but something holds them back. Your students have so much potential, so why does reading feel like Groundhog Day?
The key to accessing your students’ cognitive processing is focus. When rhythm is switched off, attention scatters, decoding stalls, and reading becomes hard work.
This isn’t about working harder. It’s about getting back in sync.

MY APPROACH
How Rhythm for Reading Works: Focus, Fluency, and Fast Results in 10 Minutes a Week
Our rhythm-based reading intervention teaches children to anticipate sound patterns – improving decoding and comprehension.
In just minutes a week, children begin:
1. Noticing clarity in sounds
2. Processing words faster
3. Reading with ease (and confidence)
Co-teach with CPD video lessons
The techniques to build attention and fluency are available in the video lessons. Teachers co-teach with the video resources week by week for the first ten weeks. The sequence of activities has been researched and developed in different schools since 2013. The Rhythm for Reading Roadmap sets a specific curriculum for each year group.
Evidence-Based Session Plans for Reading
The aims and objectives of lessons have already been built into the session planners. Teachers monitor children's progress and decide on areas for development. Flexibility built into the programme allows teachers to dial the level of challenge up or down in delivery. Structured reflective practice is supported by effective resources.
On-going Teacher Support and Check-ins
This is not traditional CPD in a conference room with speakers and slides. This is Online CPD with personalised weekly support. Online CPD is embedded in a sustainable way, and weekly mini coaching calls keep this on track. No overwhelm. No waffle. Our session planners and the reflection tool are the starting points in the structured mini coaching calls.
Track Progress With The Fluency Tracker Tool
Rhythm for Reading Online CPD is evidence-based. Fluency is the foundation. The Reading Fluency Tracker is the companion tool for monitoring progress in early reading, week by week. It records tricky words, three levels of fluency and attitude to reading. Children can add their comments too. Best of all, it only takes three minutes to complete.
Teachers see results fast. Real Progress with Reading CPD – 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.
