“We have a crisis of pupil engagement - and it’s hurting literacy” - Prof. Jessie Ricketts, Royal Holloway College
A simpler way to build engaged, confident readers in your classroom
Many students are disengaged from reading, and attainment gaps continue to widen across mixed-ability classrooms.
The Day helps you to bring every student into the same conversation through relevant, real-world stories in differentiated reading levels, without adding to your workload.
Our new, time-saving assessment tools track engagement, reading proficiency and real-world knowledge so you can focus on teaching.
“Staff have loved the wealth of topics and the ease in which they can find engaging news articles linking to their subject.”
Hannah Conway, Assistant Head, Coventry Alternative Provision Academy
What this means for your students
READ - Reading engagement and enjoyment
Students are more willing to read when content feels relevant, modern and connected to their world.
THINK - Critical thinking and real-world knowledge
Students learn to question, analyse and engage with real issues, challenging misinformation and bias.
DEBATE - Confidence and oracy
Regular discussion and debate help students express ideas clearly and develop stronger spoken communication skills.
What this means for you
More time to teach
Automated literacy and comprehension checks, immediate feedback and ready-to-use homework reduce planning and marking time.
Engage every learner
Three differentiated reading levels for every story help all students access the same topics while student voice tools encourage participation, spark discussion and help students feel more connected to their learning.
Understand student progress
Visibly track reading engagement, identify strengths and gaps, and monitor development in comprehension, critical thinking and real-world knowledge.
