Stride Ahead is a structured manual that helps readers process information in a text and extract meaning from it more rapidly. It is the natural ‘next step’ from Toe by Toe.

Stride Ahead is suitable for anyone that has reached a ‘reading plateau’. They may be comfortable reading fluently and with good pronunciation, but still have difficulty understanding and making sense of what they read.

In particular, Stride Ahead is suitable for students experiencing consequences of their comprehension struggles in other subject areas or in test environments.

The Stride Ahead manual uses ‘timed exercises’ to sharpen and focus students’ reading and comprehension skills. Timed exercises help accelerate a student’s ability to more quickly process the information contained in a text. The exercises also help students to extract meaning from text more rapidly, allowing for adequate attention to be given to the meaning in a text and building confidence in time-pressured environments.
