When progress in reading begins to feel possible for all children - without adding pressure.
Rhythm for Reading helps pupils who find it hard to settle, focus and sustain attention — and helps teachers notice progress as it unfolds.
The programme offers 30 weeks of flexible CPD, that works gently, fits into real classrooms, and builds change that lasts.
When progress in reading feels calm, steady & more predictable.
When schools notice attention settling, behaviour relaxing, and confidence beginning to grow, progress becomes steadier, more consistent — and easier to sustain.
Rhythm for Reading is rooted in inclusion - not as an add-on, but as the starting point.
And this is the part that often gets overlooked:
Before pupils with the most urgent needs can be supported, teachers need time to adapt,
without feeling rushed.
This programme gives them a gentle start with a calm group, creating space for confidence to form slowly - on foundations that are strong enough to extend later, when the time is right.
Because supporting children begins with supporting the adults who hold the classroom.
#1 Sharper Focus
Support attention in learners, who are unsettled and struggle to begin tasks.
#2 Improved self-regulation
Support self-regulation and calm using structured sound that pupils can move to.
#3 Confidence that lasts
Build confidence that grows gradually and can be noticed week by week.

A RHYTHM-BASED APPROACH
You may be wondering whether this could work in your school?
Yes! And one small detail can make or break it...
Rhythm for Reading works best when children aren’t immersed in fast, fragmented rhythms.
These digital patterns may seem harmless - even helpful - yet they often dull attention and make it harder to attune to the subtle rhythms of human interaction.
This isn't a rule or a prescription - it's an observation many teachers already recognise. We share it because your pupils’ learning matters as much to us as it does to you.
Online Teacher CPD that Settles Into the Life of the School & Gently Changes Reading.
Many teachers already know that a child's struggle with reading is rarely just about phonics.
This programme offers a structure that helps children feel safer, more connected, and more ready to learn. It’s a gentle intervention, but a powerful one, especially for pupils in key stages one, two or three who are 'just coping' — or 'no longer coping' with the day-to-day of school life.
And for the teachers leading these children, the emphasis is on noticing more, and connecting with them through simple actions, chanting in time with musical notation and keeping time with carefully 'mixed' audio tracks.
The course gives teachers the option to co-teach with Marion using video in the classroom, or to use the video materials to prepare each session in depth. This isn't a silver bullet: it's a sustainable approach that can be woven into the long term life of a school.

For a lot of the children that we target, it is the fact that there’s a lot of movement involved as well. It’s not just about sitting down and concentrating on something. There’s a lot of concentration going on, but they are not really realising how much concentration they are putting into it, because they are moving as well.
