Dr Marion LongScope exists for disciplined innovation in schools. If schools were encouraged to extend conventional approaches to the teaching of early reading, and if this was done in a systematic, rigorous and methodical way, many children would benefit.
Dr Marion Long is the founder of Rhythm for Reading and the creator of Rhythm for Reading Online CPD for teachers supporting lower-attaining readers. Her doctorate at UCL Institute of Education investigated the effects of a rhythm-based music intervention on children's reading behaviour.

“It’s only an hour that they have with you over the time that you come in over the six weeks and for it to be able to make, for a lot of them, up to a year’s difference in their reading ability is quite amazing really.” Year 3 teacher
